Podyachy
A Podyachy or podyachiy was an office occupation in prikazes and lesser local offices of Russia in 15th-18th centuries.
As an anachronism, it may be loosely translated as clerk the Latin word equally derived from a clerical title, and generically used.
Podyachyes were classified into junior, middle and senior. A senior podyachy was a councillor to a dyak.
