On August 19, 1838 Pothètos Xenos, the first holder of the Greek consulate in Galatzi, signed the passport number 107 on the name of Ioannis Hurmuziadis "to go only to Greece", "for studies in Athens". As for the owner of the passport, Ioannis Hurmuziadis, we give the following: age 19 years (so he was born in 1819), medium height, brown hair, blond eyes (blue), normal mouth, face Oval, the tain brunet. As birthplace we give the town of Mesembria (today Neseber, Bulgaria).
