district administrators of the comitats became the main officials of documentexecution. The documents that were drawn up by them are regarded as excellent sources of studying the office-bearers of the comitats. The essay gives the list of the three comitats' office-bearers and the places where the data occur. These data can be found in the three comitats' collection of documents. In the 12
