Phot Xhavella, a twenty-four-year-old man, burned his house and left from Suli. Ali Pasha promised that he will make the Suljas officers of his army, and indeed, Ali made the Suljas officers of his army. Ali built a palace in Suli, and the palace was being looked by Bochars. Photo Xhavella in spite of his co- country men after hearing that the Suliots are being employed as high ranking officers of Ali Pasha returned to Janina and spoke to Ali Pasha. After the meeting, Photo Xhavella became one among the highest Ali Pasha�s officer. ( Sabri Godo, pg. 129). The other Suliots  thought themselves ill-used, suffered from sickness and homesickness, and grew tired of exile. Some of them, led by Photo, went back to Janina, submitted to Ali, end entered his service. Major Moscho, mother of Photo went to Janiana, and she found a new husband there. ( William Plomer, pg. 117)
People of Epir sing the song:

                       
Speak up, you, Marko Suliot
                   and, you Xhavella and Kundurioti,
                   hey you courage and heroic people of Albania
                   that the freedom you gave to Greece.
