Hi Erlikhan,
Here is the transcription. My interpretation of the number 97 in the middle is that it is the number of the Janissary regiment which Salih/Salah Ağa was a member. This is of course only my opinion, alternatives are also possible. Best, Zifir |

Dom and Zifir thank you very much. Zifir, is "janissary cemaat" what you read under the number 97 ?

Dom's reading is correct. But from the earlier examples I saw, the number next to an owner usually refers to the janissary regiment that the owner was a member. His military title as Ağa also refers to this connection. |
