Summary/Abstract: The paper represents the first attempt to solve even partially a methodological question on the basic of the defters. The thing in question is checking of the data found in the travelogues with the aid of defters, or rather a simple comparison of the two. It is possible to do a thing like that only on the road from Belgrade to Niš, and in the period from 1533 to 1584. Without discussing or analyzing the travelogues in general only the data that could positively be checked trough the defters from the same or somewhat earlier or later time, were taken. There are of course certain digressions and quotation of considerably older sources for as it is already known, the second half of 16ct. is considerably poorer in defters for the certain regions of Serbia, than the first.
