Agha ( Ottoman Empire ) Agha , also Aga ( from Turkish : " ağa " " chief , master , lord " , ) , as a title for a civilian or military officer , or often part of such title , was placed after the name of certain military functionaries in the Ottoman Empire . At the same time some court functionaries were entitled to the " agha " title . Agha in Kurdistan . In Kurdistan , within the tribal Kurdish society , " agha " is the title given to tribal chieftains , either supreme chieftains , or to village heads . It is also given to wealthy landlords and owners of major real estates in the urban Kurdish centers , although these landlords are usually with heavy tribal relations . The common tribesmen would honor the chieftains or the village heads by calling them " agha " or " agha " so and so . The " agha " would usually have a diwan or diwan - khane , a special room , or house , dedicated to the " agha " and his male guests , for sitting and drinking tea , discussing the affairs of the tribe and other mundane subjects . The agha and his guests would listen at times for local or visiting singers and story tellers ( usually Jewish merchants or peddlers ) , who would entertain the " agha " and his guests . The common agha was in fact one person who was in charge of several major tasks of the tribal society under his jurisdiction : He was the head of the political unit , the main judge and arbitrator , the main military leader of his armed tribesmen , the main finance minister responsible mainly for receiving dues from his subjects for their harvest and commercial transactions committed under his jurisdiction . One of the best studies on " aghas " in the Kurdish society is the important book of Mordechai Zaken , Jewish Subjects and their tribal chieftains in Kurdistan . Etymology . The word " agha " entered English from Turkish , and the Turkish word comes from the Old Turkic " aqa " , meaning " elder brother " . Ultimately the Old Turkic word , along with the Mongolian word " aga " , has its origins in the proto - Altaic word " ák ' v " .

Aplekton Aplekton ( , from ) was a Byzantine term used in the 10th – 14th centuries for a fortified army base ( in this sense similar to the " metaton " ) and later in the Palaiologan period for the obligation of billet ing soldiers . History and functions . The institution of the " aplekta " as major assembly areas , where stores of supplies were kept and where the provincial armies of the " thema ta " were to join the main imperial force for a campaign , date most probably to the reign of Emperor Constantine V ( r . 741 – 775 ) . Of these , the camp of Malagina in Bithynia was the nearest to the capital of Constantinople , and is mentioned as early as 786 / 787 . Other such bases existed in Anatolia . Emperor Basil I ( r . 867 – 886 ) mentions Kaborkin , Koloneia and Kaisareia , while Bathys Ryax was to be used for expeditions against the Paulicians . His successor , Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos ( r . 945 – 959 ) , in his treatise on imperial expeditions , records the " aplekta " from west to east as follows : Malagina , Dorylaion , Kaborkin , Koloneia , Kaisareia and Dazimon . Further such camps are in evidence from literary sources at Kepoi ( at the mouths of the Maeander river ) and at Phygela , at Diabasis in Thrace , as well as the large encampments at Hebdomon near Constantinople , and at Adrianople . The Komnenian emperors , harder pressed and lacking in strategic depth , continued this system , and added camps ( no longer termed " aplekta " , but fulfilling the same role ) at Gounaria in Paphlagonia , at Chrysopolis in Bithynia , Pelagonia in western Macedonia , Serdica ( modern Sofia ) , Kypsella in Thrace ( near the Maritsa river ) , and at Lopadion on the Rhyndacus river in western Anatolia . Advance camps for expeditions against the Seljuk Turks were established by Emperor Manuel I Komnenos ( r . 1143 – 1180 ) at Dorylaion and Soublaion .
