It is not known how it later came into the ownership of Venetian family "Morosini". Silba was held by family "Morosini" until the first quarter of 19th century. As it was too far to govern and receive tax on yield in nature they agreed with inhabitants of Silba in 1770 to receive each year 2000 Venetian lira in rent. Silbans called this rent "četvrtina" (quarter), as it amounted to quarter of the land's yields, which is what serfs elsewhere also gave to their masters.
