Life and register readings
Nesim Efendi was born in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1880/81 (AH 1298), into the Musevilik community. Work began in Komotini in 1903/04, at about 22, on a first salary of 0 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1903/04, places Nesim in Komotini, the birthplace, as Bidayet Mahkemesi İstintak Dairesi mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1904 to 1906 give a second post, in Smolyan as Fransızca Mürur Tezkere Kâtibi. The lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1905/06 instead of a title.
The salary went from 0 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to 200 in 1904/05, the peak, in Smolyan, when 15 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 4,800 kuruş, 32 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.
