Abstract :The aim of the preseiıt study is twofold: First, to present a completesurvey .0fOttoman administrative divisions in Epiros during the nineteenth century, trace their gradual evolution through successive reform initiatives, and arrive at a. precise definition of their spatial , extent; second, to exploit this information.in evaluating and interpreting certain statistical data on the distribııtion and development of Epirote populations. Although, there exists a mass of published and manuscript data on these questions, its usage and interpretation has tended to proceed in arather superficial way, due to a lack of coneeptual clarity in handling geographical and administrative terminology, as well as theexclusive focussing of popuJationstudies on the so-cal1ed "ethnic" distributi()n ofOttoman populations, usua1İy inorder to prove political points.Keywords : LATER, PASBALIK, YANNINA
