1893, Mato Vodopić, Marija Konavoka, Matica hrvatska, Zagreb, page 118:Sama rodjena nje braća doznavši tako smionu ljubav nemilo je pogubiše; jer dignuvši s otoka gorući luč i prenesavši ga na ladjicu, toliko joj činiše da pliva za nestalnim drijevom, dok se na svrhu, iznemogla od umora, poduši i grob nadje u onom moru, koje toliko puta bješe jedini i tajni svjedok i vjerni pomoćnik njezinoj ljubavi.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
