In Modern English

He was the son of Seyyid Mustafa Pasha, of the Kurdish Seyyid İbrahim Paşazâde family from the village of Oluş. After his father's death he lived in Amasya for a time. Later, during the vizierate of Merzifonlu Sadık Mehmed Pasha, he became that pasha's steward (kethüda); when the pasha was dismissed and executed, he came to Amasya in exile. He died in early 1198 [late 1783]. A daughter of his, Hafize Hanım, also died in 1208 [1793-94] without an heir; the whole of her estate, a total of 19548 kuruş, went to the state treasury.

Consequence of Dying Without an Heir

According to the text, since Hafize Hanım had no heir, her property of 19548 kuruş passed to the state treasury. Hüsameddin does not say from which record he took this sum; its source could not be verified.

Merzifonlu Sadık Mehmed Pasha

The identity of the "Merzifonî Sâdık Mehmed Pasha" in the text could not be verified in the sources. The famous vizier of Merzifon origin is Merzifonlu Kara Mustafa Pasha; but this pasha, who died in 1095 [1683], belongs to a period too early to be the vizier whose steward İbrahim Bey, who died in 1198 [1783], could have been. The date on which the pasha in the text became vizier and when he was executed could not be established from another source. For this reason the date of İbrahim Bey's arrival in Amasya in exile also remains uncertain.

No information about the Seyyid İbrahim Paşazâde family of Oluş village was found in other sources.
