Things were mentioned only in some testaments and, only in rare cases, each thing were counted in them (mainly weapons, jewellery, rarely plates and dishes). Some testators (those, who were not wealthy and whose property consisted of personal use items, weapons, clothing, etc.) bequeathed all property which they owned, while the majority of testators not numbered all movable and immovable property.
