"Miri" land (land belonging to emir)
The specific category of land to which Marcus appears to refer in this instance, a classification inherited from the Ottomans, is "miri" land, or "land belonging to the Emir." Historically, individuals have acquired certain rights to miri land by doing two things: Cultivating the land continuously for ten years and then on that basis registering it with the land registry. Anyone satisfying these prescribed conditions was then provided documents certifying certain limited legal rights to the land. Similarly, individuals can lose those rights by ceasing cultivation for three years. (This is not land ownership as Americans understand it, since, for example, the rights in question may be passed on to familial heirs, but may not be bequeathed to non-relatives.)

The Ottoman Land Law defines five types of possession or ownership of land....
Miri lands are those situated close to places of settlement and suitable for agricultural use. A person may secure ownership of such land by holding and working the land for ten consecutive years.
If a landowner of this type fails completely to farm the land for three consecutive years for reasons other than those recognized by the law (e.g., the landowner is drafted into the army, or the land lays fallow for agricultural reasons), the land is then known as makhlul.
The following classes of land existed according to the Ottoman Land Code, 1855: Wakf (land of Islamic endowments), mulk (private property in towns), miri (private land claimed by cultivation), matruk (land held in common by the village, or for public use - e.g. roads), mawat (all other land, which could be used by anyone with need. See paragraph 103 of the Ottoman Land Code). Coon, supra note 2, at 165.

State owned land
Miri is certainly a term dating from the Ottoman administration.
Today, however, it simply signifies land owned by the State.

: While primarily the miri land is owned, under Ottoman Laws, by sultan (the emir), an individual may obtain title in this kind of lands through prescription. In this case, the State retains only absract ownership (raqaba) which is nothing like full title.
