              <text>It seems Catherine and Potemkin granted several dachas in this area (and with this name). A dacha of 657 desiatinas is attested in 1792. Another consisted of 1,091 desiatinas; the third consisted of 500 desiatinas near the villages of Isliam Terek and Kozy. This was prime, cultivable real estate and very likely consisted of vineyards given its location.</text>
