    Notes In 1601, he was hired to replace Hieronymus Nagy as interpreter in Győr, and in addition to his duties as interpreter for the Aulic War Council, he regularly escorted Ottoman delegations and participated in prisoner exchanges. He interpreted at the border commission concerning the status of villages that had not been settled in the Peace of Zsitvatorok and was also employed as a Turkish courier to Buda and Constantinople. In 1611, he asked to be dismissed from his post of interpreter and he became customs (tricesima) collector.
