Özet:

 This article examines the career and administrative duties of Kiki Seyyid Abdi Pasha one of the most prominent statesmen of the Ottoman Empire in the 18th century, as well as the process of confiscating his estate following his death. Abdi Pasha ascended through the Ottoman bureaucracy, serving as a governor in strategic regions such as Adana, Aleppo, Raqqa, and Egypt. His tribe connections enabled him to effectively manage the social and political dynamics of these regions, aligning with the Ottoman states strategy of integrating local elements into provincial administration. In addition to detailing Abdi Pashas career, the article analyzes the administrative structure and central-provincial relations in the eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Specifically, Abdi Pashas role in addressing tribal rebellions and regional instability is evaluated within the context of the political and military dynamics of the period. Furthermore, the confiscation of Abdi Pashas property after his death exemplifies the meticulousness of the Ottoman bureaucracy in such procedures and highlights the complexities involved. The gold, jewelry, arms, weapons, furs, teams of horses, and other valuables listed in his estate provide insights into the consumption habits and social status indicators of the time.

 Bu makale, 18. yüzyılda Osmanlı Devletinin önemli devlet adamlarından Kiki Seyyid Abdi Paşanın kariyerini, idari görevlerini ve ölümünün ardından terekesinin müsadere sürecini incelemektedir. Kiki Aşiretine mensup Abdi Paşa Adana, Halep, Rakka ve Mısır gibi stratejik bölgelerde valilik yaparak Osmanlı bürokrasisinde yükselmiştir. Aşiret bağları onun bölgedeki sosyal ve siyasi dinamikleri yönetmede etkili olmasını sağlamış, bu durum Osmanlı Devletinin taşra yönetiminde yerel unsurları entegre etme stratejisi ile örtüşmüştür. Makalede, Abdi Paşanın kariyerinin yanı sıra Osmanlı Devletinin doğu eyaletlerindeki idari yapı ve merkez-taşra ilişkileri de analiz edilmektedir. Özellikle aşiret kaynaklı isyanlar ve bölgesel istikrarsızlıklar karşısında Abdi Paşanın rolü dönemin siyasi ve askeri dinamikleri bağlamında değerlendirilmektedir. Ayrıca, Abdi Paşanın ölümünün ardından terekesinin müsadere edilmesi süreci Osmanlı bürokrasisinin bu tür uygulamalardaki titizliğini ve yaşanan zorlukları gösteren bir örnek olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Terekesinde bulunan altın, mücevher, silah, kürk, at takımları ve değerli eşyalar dönemin tüketim alışkanlıklarına ve sosyal statü göstergelerine ışık tutmaktadır.
