The term 'OLD OTTOMAN TITLE' refers to two titles held by high-ranking officials in the Ottoman Empire. The first title is PASHA, which was a title of honor given to military and civil officials. It was the highest rank in the Ottoman Empire and was usually given to those who had achieved great success in their field. The second title is DEY, which was a title of authority given to governors of provinces or cities. It was a lower rank than PASHA, but still held considerable power.
