It had an entirely Muslim population of 30 households and 23 bachelors. They paid a fixed tax-rate of 40% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, fruit trees, goats and bee-hives; in addition to occasional revenues. Their total tax was 8,500 akçe, with all of it going to a waqf (religious trust).[2]
