Note 683 — Chapter VII · THE MOSLEM INSTITUTION OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE

Reading edition

Hammer (as above, p. 216, note 4) gives a list of 39 judges of rank above the Kazis proper, and 243 Kazis of Rumelia, 280 of Anatolia, and 34 of Egypt. The total is thus 557 Kazis proper, and 596 judges in all. In the subsequent list of 247 positions in Rumelia as rearranged under Mahmûd II, five places in the Crimea are mentioned as seats of Kazis in partibus, but neither list appears to mention any in North Africa.
