[edit] Comments

Zeibek is a turkish name for mountain warriors and bandits of western Anatolia in the 19th century. The word can be translated as "valiant person" it is not name of any kind of ethnic group or tribe. this word describes a persons occupation, not ethnicity.

Whoever they were in 19th century, Encyclopedia Britannica says something else as well. `'mikka (t) 20:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Encyclopedia Brittanica is not always right. This is one of those occasions. Isatay 00:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
