In Modern English

He was a native of Amasya, the son of Hakalalı Şâtır Ali Ağa bin Hamza Ağa, a former mütesellim of Amasya. He was one of the aghas of the former grand vizier Kara Mustafa Pasha, and after him of Merzifonlu el-Hâc Pasha, and for a time was also sipahiler ağası. Then he was retired, and although he was among the ayan of Amasya and a member of the ayan council, he died around this time.

Hacı Feyzullahzâde İbrâhim Ağa had been kapıcılar kethüdası of Amcazâde Hüseyin Pasha. After the death of that pasha he came to Amasya, chose retirement, and died after 1140 [1727-28]. Murâd Beyzâde el-Hâc İbrâhim Ağa bin el-Hâc Mustafa Ağa and Mütevellîzâde el-Hâc İbrâhim Ağa bin el-Hâc Ali Ağa were also of the eşraf of Amasya, members of the ayan and the pilgrims' councils, and died around 1147 [1734-35]. Hacı Feyzullahzâde el-Hâc İbrâhim Ağa was known as "Köse." İbrâhim Ağa bin İsmâil Bey, one of the holders of zeamets, is also among the notables of this time.

Four İbrâhim Aghas Bearing the Same Name

This entry describes not a single person but four people of Amasya named İbrâhim together: Şâtırzâde, Hacı Feyzullahzâde ("Köse"), Murâd Beyzâde and Mütevellîzâde. All belong to the eşraf and ayan class, and all died in the 1140s. The "meclis-i a'yân" and "hâcıyân meclisi" that Hüsameddin mentions separately show that in Amasya's local life the notables and those who had gone on pilgrimage formed separate bodies. No detail on how these institutions functioned was found in any source outside the book.

That Şâtırzâde's father Şâtır Ali Ağa was mütesellim of Amasya is also mentioned in this book. No information on these persons and their families was found in any source other than Hüsameddin.
