Scope and content
Complaints against Suep (Σουέπ) and his Turks, that today they attacked them with arms but they locked themselves in a house, and that happened in front of the Moultetzimi (Μουλτετζίμι) and many others. The Turks, unable to find them, began to curse in the streets and beat their wives, and rushed against the priest Ibrahim (Ιπραήμ) threatening him; after, they came to Jerusalem and started a lawsuit against the Christians, and the government is already seeking for 17 souls. These Christians can no longer suffer, because they have run out of patience, and if they don't get the necessary help and support, they will be forced to become Turks.
