Around Kosovo are the following countries: Prishtina; it has no castle nor is it surrounded by walls, but open country with about 3,000 houses; it makes a big market and is connected to Skopje a day's journey away. Usually the Pasha of Skopje stays here to avoid expenses and to be near the mines; the pashalak is bought by 100,000 reales and is freed never to go to war; it holds many, many 100 soldiers, horsemen and footmen. There is no faculty to wage war, but only to collect tribute. The river Sitnica passes by the leeds.
