 On the same day Mustafa Bey dispersed Greek pickets at Atalanti, later camping at the Agia Ierousalim monastery outside Davleia.There he questioned the monastery's "hegumenos" about Karaiskakis' whereabouts and whether he knew of his intention to relieve Amfissa.The "hegumenos" lied, claiming that Karaiskakis had yet to leave Domvrena and that he was oblivious to the Ottoman maneuvers.
