Life and register readings

The life of Musa Kazım Efendi (H. 1302 / M. 1884-1885) began in Antalya in 1884/85 (AH 1302); the father's occupation was "Elmalı kazası eytam müdürü". The annual lists begin in 1902/03, with Musa Kazım (H. 1302 / M. 1884-1885) as Ziraat Bankası odacısı and no place named. For 1904 to 1908 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1903/04 give a second post, in Elmalı as Mal sandığı emini. The last posts were in Antalya, the birthplace, from 1908 to 1910.

The salary went from 125 kuruş a month in 1902/03 to 350 in 1909/10, the peak, in Antalya, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 12,540 kuruş, 57 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.
