Life and register readings

Remzi Bey was born in Eleftheroupoli (Pravişte) in 1857/58 (AH 1274). Work began in Eleftheroupoli in 1878, at about 20, on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1878, places Remzi in Eleftheroupoli, the birthplace, as Aşar ambar memuru, where the entries run to 1887/88. The lists have no entry for 1883 to 1887 and 1888 to 1891. The last entry, for 1891/92, names Remzi as Nahiye Muduru, with no place.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 400 kuruş a month in 1878, in Eleftheroupoli, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, eight years of salary come to 24,600 kuruş, 63 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1891/92.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
