“Peteročići were small people, each had 5 horns on the head. They were good and did no harm to anyone. It is told that they were very hard working, too, they were always doing something. They lived in Krnjenac on Koženjak. You can still see where they lived. There are some passages in the drywalls on Krnjenac. Those who went there say that a man can go in squatting, and that it could hold five to six people. On Koženjak, on the northern side there is a cave under a rock, where shepherds would hide and keep warm when it rained. There is a passage there. People tried to go in and they would leave a trail of thread behind so they would not get lost. They would walk until their candle would go out, and then they would go back. Inside, there are small corridors, they say, and if you took the right one, you could return to the cave through a different hole. There, Peteročići lived there like that. On Citorij, the top of Stivanje Polje, Peteročići had a church, they say. You can still see traces on Citorij. From there, there is a road towards the sea, and then to the south from Magrovica all the way along the sea to the south, to the south underneath Brčastac, and then it goes to Krnjenac. That is the route which Peteročići took to go to church. The road is still there to this day. In some places you can see it better, in some not, but no one goes there, and few go anywhere. If it is so, or not, I do not know. That is what I heard.” (source: Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research, Zagreb; collection Goroslav Oštrić: “Croatian folk tales from Dugi Otok and surrounding areas”, 1958, signature IEF 325)

˝Peteročići su bili mali ljudi svaki sa 5 rogov na glavi. Bili su dobri i nikom zla nisu činili. Govoru i da su bili čudo vridni, uvik su čagoder činili. Stali su u Krnjencu na Koženjaku. Još i sad je viti di su stali.Na Krnjencu su u mocirami kako niki koriduri. Ki su bili tamo govoru, da čovik čačeći more pasati nutra i da bi stalo pe’ šest ljudi. Na Koženjaku, sa zburnjeg vrha je jedna peć pod stenun, di bi se čobane skrili i grijali kada bi daždilo. Nutra je jedan koridur. Provali su kršćane vanj se vavirati i pušćati za sobun pasm o preje za da se ne zgubu. Hodili bi dokle bi in se svića ugasila, a onda bi se vrnuli. Nutra da su opeta koridurići i ‘ko pogodiš pravi moga si okolo opeta dojti u peć kroz drugu bužu. E, tako da su toteka stali Peteročići. Na Citorij, vrhu Stivanjeg polja, da je bila crikva Peteročićima. Još i sada moru se viti na Citoriju nike mirine. Odatle gre doli prema moru jedna putačina, pa unda na jugo od Magrovice sve uza more na jugo, na jugo spod Brčastaca u unda gre prema Krnjencu. S otin putun da su hodili Peteročići u crikvu. Putačina je još i danas. Viti je je di bolje di gore, ali niko š njun ne gre, a malo je ki i hodi. Je li tako, ni li, ja ne znan. Tako sam užala čuti˝ ( Izvor: Institut za etnologiju i folkloristiku, Zagreb; zbirka Goroslav Oštrić: ˝Hrvatske narodne priče s Dugog otoka i okolice˝, 1958, signatura IEF 325)
