Life and career

6 annual observations · AH is the ordering clock

The Gregorian years are stored dataset labels, not exact calendar conversions. Salaries are monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash disbursements. Changes between observations are not dated promotion or transfer events.

The observed record has missing AH years: 1308–1319. Gaps remain open; older rows do not fill the recovered chronology.

Monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash payments. Lines connect consecutive AH years only; hollow points mean salary not recorded. Competing rows in one AH year remain separate points, without a unique pay-change line. Gregorian values elsewhere are stored labels.

Title blocks group consecutive recorded rows only. They do not establish appointment dates or continuous tenure.

Changes in the surviving record

  1. No annual rows for AH 1308–1319. Changes span the gap.

    Title Mevsillik to Muhabere Memuru

    Locality urfele to selanik

    Salary 150 to 300 kuruş +150 (+100%)

  2. Locality selanik to trablusgarp

  3. Locality trablusgarp to fizan

    Salary 300 to 800 kuruş +500 (+166.67%)

Each item compares surviving rows. A title change is not automatically a promotion; a locality change is not a reconstructed journey.

The first-work date may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service. The first-salary amount is a separate inherited field; their presence together does not prove that payment began on this date. Neither is the first positive annual salary observation.

Only recorded terms are shown. Omitted language fields mean not recorded; they do not establish that the official lacked a language. Original competency wording is preserved. Read the terminology note.

How to read this dossier

The website joins the exact archival identity across editions. Names are attributes and never merge records. No annual gap is filled from another extract. Geographic alternatives, missing values and differences remain evidence rather than silent corrections.
