P.J. Ruches. Albania's captives. Argonaut. Chicago, 1965, σελ. 31 «The very name of the Moslems dwelling there, Liab, is derived from the expression 'la besen' which can be translated as 'apostasy' and is equivalent to the latin 'lapsus'. When their flocks are ailing these Liabs are as wont to call upon Chriestian priest as Moslem hodja. They do likewise to have their crops blessed and their popular Moslem saint, 'Baba-Ali of Tepeleni', is thinlgi disguised St. Elias. Other strange survivals of Orthodox Christianity can be cited in this respect.»
