From 20 to 400 they were merely “officers with rank” (\*manṣabdār\*); from 500 to 2500 they were Nobles—Blochmann, i, 535 (\*Amīr\*, pl. \*Umarā\*, origin of our form “Omrah”); from 3000 to 7000 they were Great Nobles (\*Amīr-i-Aʿẓam\*, pl. \*ʿUzzām\*, \*Umarā-i-kibār\* (Blochmann, i, 529, note), or Pillars (\*ʿUmdah\*). All \*manṣabdārs\* were kept on one or other of two lists: (1) \*Ḥāẓir-i-rikāb\*, present at Court; (2) \*Taʿīnāt\*, on duty elsewhere. - [Previous: c3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c3.18) - [Next: c3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c3.20) - [Up: c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c3.19) · Pramāṇa
