Sanjak-bey, Sanjaq-bey or -beg was the Turkish title of the Bey (high officer, but usually not a Pasha) in military and administrative command of a sanjak (usually a district),[1] answerable to a Wāli or other provincial governor. In a few cases the Sanjak-Bey was himself a governor directly answering to Istanbul.
