[751] Junis Bey, below, p. 266, says that the _Kiaya_ of the Janissaries has 300 ducats of feudal grant per year, which would equal about 15,000 aspers. [752] “_Giannizzeriasis._” [753] “_Livreri._” [754] “_Bracchi._” [755] “_Assareri._” [756] This Slavonic word seems to be used here simply in the sense of “army officers.” [757] “_Immensi._” [758] This is an error. Probably the number intended is three hundred. Junis Bey, below, p. 267, gives two hundred and fifty. [759] Only two officers should be named here. The lieutenant (_Protogero_) and the _Kiaya_ were the same. Junis Bey gives this correctly. [760] Under each _Agha_, or chief officer. [761] The _Kiaya_ and the lieutenant are the same. [762] This derivation is from a secondary meaning; the primary meaning is “foreign youth.” See above, pp. 98, 99, note 1. [763] “_Bracor-bashi._” [764] This should read “_Kiaya_ and secretary.” [765] “_Brene._” [766] This is the common report in Western writers as regards the _Peiks_. See Menavino, 155; Nicolay, 100. [767] _Kiayas_ and secretaries. [768] This refers to those whom Junis Bey, below, p. 268, calls _Zainogiler_, a body of lancers, who are here erroneously classed with the falconers. Junis Bey’s figures are 20,000 in all, 1000 receiving pay in money. Are they the Voinaks (above, p. 131)? [769] Junis Bey, “_cursor_,” a messenger or porter. [770] Literally, “intendant of the town.” [771] Junis Bey says 57. [772] Usually called by Western writers “Dragoman.” [773] This was the “Old Palace” of Mohammed the Conqueror, and stood where the _Seraskierat_, or War Office now stands. [774] Suleiman is said to have been faithful to Roxelana after he had made her his wife. See above, p. 56. [775] This should read “per day.” Junis Bey, below, p. 269. [776] This should read 100,000: _ibid._ [777] Junis Bey, below, p. 270, says 200,000 per year. [778] At the meetings of the Divan. [779] This should read fifty each: Junis Bey, below, p. 271. [780] “_Che fanno fattione._” [781] This should read “ten thousand”: Junis Bey, below, p. 272. [782] Of the Turkish possessions in Asia. [783] “_Maldac._” [784] “_Esdum._” Junis Bey, below, p. 272, has “_exdrun_.” [785] More correctly, _Irak Ajam_, north-central Persia. [786] Junis Bey, 273, counts these as two, and the whole number as thirty-six. [787] Herzegovina. [788] “_Cangri._” [789] “_Hallayce_” or “_Allaye_.” [790] The ancient Magnesia. [791] The plain of Albistan. [792] “_Alziden._” [793] Evidently the writer intended to fill these in, but failed to secure the names. [794] This amounts to about four million ducats a year. [795] The reference is, of course, to the feudal _Spahis_ and their officers, who then received according to this estimate two-thirds of the revenues of the empire. [796] At this point the smaller type begins. See below, p. 315.
