| 6 | 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 . |
| 7 | 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 . |
