Life and register readings

Born in Burdur in 1846/47 (AH 1263), Pavlaki Efendi was the child of a merchant (tüccar). Work began in 1879/80, at about 33, on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with Pavlaki as Aşar Emaneti geçici ambar memuru and no place named.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 400 kuruş a month in 1879/80, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 13 years pay ended below where it began, 250 kuruş against 400. In all, 13 years of salary come to 44,400 kuruş, 71 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.
