In 1749, Mahmud, the Pasha of Ochakov, informed the Kosh that a Greek merchant named Yanakii Mundzia had purchased merchandise worth 250 akçe from Mahmud, a Janissary of Ochakov, to sell in Zaporozhye. At that time, greek present in Zaporozhye testified that Mahmud owed 900 akçe and 10 par. Yanakii Mundzia disclosed that his agreement with the Janissary was made in 1743, stipulating that Mundzia would sell the goods provided by the Janissary outside the borders of the Khanate and that the profits would be divided equally between them. Over the two years following their agreement, the Janissary employed various tactics to avoid paying the full amounts owed to Mundzia. Frustrated by these ongoing deceptions, Mundzia decided to retain the 250 akçe as compensation for the unpaid sums. Additionally, he demanded the remaining 900 akçe owed to him.
