Life and register readings

Kalas Başşehbender Vekili ve Kançıları Aris Fesciyan was born in Istanbul in 1869/70 (AH 1286), into the Hristiyan community. The first salary was 400 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1892/93, with Kalas Başşehbender Vekili ve Kançıları Aris Fesciyan as Şehbenderhane kançıları and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1892 to 1896 give a second post, in Constanța as Başşehbenderhane kançıları. At the same time, from 1895 to 1902, the lists also place Kalas Başşehbender Vekili ve Kançıları Aris Fesciyan in Kalas as Başşehbenderhane şehbender vekili ve kançıları. The last entries, from 1903 to 1909, name Kalas Başşehbender Vekili ve Kançıları Aris Fesciyan as Ermeni Patrikhanesi kapı kethüdası, with no place. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1892/93 and 1908/09; Azil (dismissal) for 1896/97.

Pay rose from 1,000 kuruş a month in 1892/93 to a peak of 2,500 in 1903/04, when 95 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 16 years of salary come to 274,800 kuruş, 3.5 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
