Tatjana Katić. The Sancak of Prizren in the 15th and 16th Century
Tatjana Katić. The Sancak of Prizren in the 15th and 16th Century // OTAM, 33/Bahar 2013, 113-138.
The number of sipahis in the sancak of Prizren, during most of the 16th century, almost did not change at all; it was about 270 men.[38] The actual number of sipahi cavalry, in terms of their revenues and obligation to equip cebelis was approximately double.
Under the command of the Prizren sancakbeyi were voynuks - Christian soldiers, who were previously in the service of medieval rulers. They came from the strata of fine nobility, free peasants and the Vlachs (Eflaks). According to the defter of voynuks in 1455, there were 100 voynuks, 2 lagators and 201 yamaks in the sancak of Prizren.[39] Voynuks were horsemen, equipped with light armor (cebe) or without it, armed with a spear, sword and shield.[40] Prizren voynuks were recruited mostly among the Vlachs. Some of the voynuk villages were named as Vlach katuns in the Serbian medieval sources.[41] Some others were organized in the zeamet of the Vlachs of Vılk-ili in 1477, i.e. the nahiyes of the Prizren Vlachs and the Vlachs of Vılk-ili in 1518.[42]

В одном случае - 303 человека выставляли 100 войников. В другом - с 200 человек выставлялись 33 войника, из которых только 2 были джебелю. Остальные, насколько понимаю - гусары/стратиоты без металлических доспехов.
Опять же - в теории, кажется, войники должны были служить по принципу "1 с 5". Тут же - в одном случае "1 с 3", в другом - "1 с 6".
