Life#
Adil Efendi was born in Pristina (Priştine) in 1858/59 (AH 1275). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman) and the nationality as Turkish.
Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Pristina in 1874/75 (AH 1291): Telgraf. The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 1 year of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 380 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1875/76, the official was about 16 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1875/76, shows Muhabere Memuru in Skopje (Üsküp), with 380 kuruş a month. In 1876/77 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Pristina, the salary going from 380 to 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Skopje). In 1881/82 the record shows Sandık Emaneti in Pristina, the salary going from 380 to 250 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Pristina). In 1884/85 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Kosova, the salary going from 250 to 400 kuruş a month (before: Sandık Emaneti in Pristina). In 1896/97 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Pristina, with 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Kosova).

The median salary of all officials that year was 582.5 kuruş. Over 30 years with a salary the median is 400 kuruş a month, with 2 rises and 2 cuts. The largest rise, 150 kuruş, is seen in 1884/85. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 0.17 per cent a year on average.
