Emin (Ottoman official)

An emin was an officer in the Ottoman empire; a "steward", the holder of an eminet, and often responsible for customs duties. Unlike a timar holder, an emin was a salaried official.[1] Emins could operate outside the normal Ottoman bureaucracy; they were not necessarily Muslim.[2]
