- officer
- (dialectal, Iraq) tenant farmer or villein

- 1809, Rousseau, Jean-Baptiste, Description du Pachalik de Bagdad, suivie d’une Notice historique sur les Wahabis et de quelques aulres pièces relatives à l’Historie et à la Littérature de l’Orient[1], Paris: Treuttel et Würtz, pages 65, also 66, 81:
- Comme le choix des zabets ou fermiers depend entièrement du caprice du propriétaire, la durée de la location dépend aussi de sa volontée, et elle cesse aussitôt que le fermier qu’il a choisi ne le satisfait pas par l’exactitude des payemens, soit en denrées, soit en argent.
- Like the choice of ḍubbāt (note: one transcribes the better-known “officer” meaning alike in French) entirely depends on the caprice of the owner, the durity of the location also depends on his will, and it passes as early as the farmer which he has chosen does not satisfy the exaction of payments, be it in kind or be it in money.
