#Ottoman administration

• Aga's office — A term of Turkish origin used in the past to designate the office, dignity, authority, or jurisdiction of an aga; by local extension, it can also refer to the administrative headquarters, office, or territory under the direct command of this medieval police authority during the Ottoman or Phanariot periods.
• Administered by an aga — Having been subjected to the order or administrative jurisdiction of an agie; a territory, locality, or person under the guard, direct control, or supervision of an aga during the medieval period. In a narrow and contextual sense, it can indicate a property or function approved or registered at the old police administrative office.
• Chancellery archivist — An official archaic term of Ottoman origin, historically used in the chancelleries of the Romanian Principalities to designate the archivist, secretary, or administrative official responsible for registering, preserving, and managing the magzar or magzars (collective petitions, counter-signed deeds, or official minutes signed by boyars or local communities). In an institutional-structural sense, the argimagzariu ensured the legality and preservation of protest documents or petitions submitted to the Divan or directly to the Porte.
• Guild master — A historical name attributed to the head or warden of the grocers' and colonial merchants' guild in the Romanian Principalities during the Ottoman and Phanariot eras. This administrative and judicial position involved overseeing the quality of food goods, controlling weights and scales, collecting taxes for the princely treasury, and arbitrating commercial disputes within the market town.
