| 1 | A list of the kadis in office in Anadolu in early Muharram 928/early December 1521 , forty years after the death of Mehmed II , shows the kadi of Bursa to be receiving 300 akce , while according to Gokbilgin , the kadi of Edirne was likewise receiving an allowance of only 300 akce a day at the beginning of the tenth/sixteenth century . |
| 2 | The actual income of a kadi depended not only — or even principally — on his allowance , of course , but also on fees of various kinds ; and it may well be that if indeed the kadis of Istanbul , Edirne and Bursa continued to receive allowances of only 300 akce a day down to Hezarfen 's time , they did so because their allowances represented a relatively insignificant proportion of the monies they actually received , so that raising them to match the importance of the kadiliks was not a matter of particular moment . |
| 3 | Some doubt is in fact raised about interpreting Hezarfen 's statement as meaning that these three kadis were still , toward the end of the seventeenth century , receiving only 300 akce a day both by Ali 's statement that they were receiving " approximately " 500 akce ( see Appendix I , A ) and by the attributed to Kocu Bey which was presented to Sultan Ibrahim ( 1640–8 ) in 1049–50/1640 in which the author , discussing aspects of the learned hierarchy , says : " Whatever great provinces there are in the divinely-protected [ i.e. Ottoman ] dominions , such as Egypt , Aleppo , Diyarbakir , Damascus , Erzurum , Selanik ( Salonica ) , Budin ( Buda ) , Sofya ( Sofiya ) , Bursa , Edirne , Istanbul [ the kadis of ] all such as these are 500-akce Mollas ' . |
| 4 | On the assumption that neither Hezarfen on the one hand nor Ali and Kocu Bey on the other is simply in error , one can perhaps reconcile these two apparently contradictory statements on the grounds either that it was only in the technical matter of the that Istanbul , Edirne and Bursa continued to be regarded as 300-akce kadiliks , their holders actually being given 500 akce a day ; or that , while still being paid only 300 akce a day , they had come to be regarded as 500-akce mevleviyets from the hierarchical point of view , for the obvious reason that they were in fact higher in rank than any of the other kadiliks . |
