Na nebreškata strana na Surun vo gramotite se kažuva i za selište Arbanasi. I od nego e ostanato samo imeto na mesnosta pod spilata Veta, no i nekakvi tragi, veke sramneti so zemjata, od nekogašna naselba. Blizu do nebreškiot izvor ima vo poleto mesto što go vikame Latinska Crkva. Sekogaš mi bilo čudno od kade takvo ime, koga tamu ne se zabeležuva ništo od nekakva crkva. Sega mi stanuva jasno deka toa se povrzuva so zapustenoto Arbanasi, zašto vo našiot narod Latini se vikaat Albancite-katolici
