Nikollë Mekajshi, bishop of Stafania and Bena, who, pursued by the Ottomans, had taken refuge initially in Përlat and then in Fanë of Mirdita, in a letter dated July 25, 1601, writes:

“Here in Albania every year there are attacks by the Turks against the Dukagjins and by the Dukagjins against the Turks. This year the armies of the four sanjaks, consisting of 1500 cavalry and infantry, were launched against Dukagjin (Mirditë-Pukë), caused some damage to the loot and livestock, took slaves and burned houses. The Dukagjins, for their part, did not fail to respond: one morning with two detachments, they attacked the Turkish camps. One even captured the son of Mustafa Pasha of Dibra (an Ottoman soldier). Although there were 6000 people in that direction, they were broken, routed and the Dukagjins pursued them. more than 10 miles, all the flags were taken, many Turks were killed, and a lot of weapons and other war booty was captured..”
