Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Süreyya Efendi began in Edirne in 1868/69 (AH 1285); the father's occupation was "Edirne Vilayeti Mektubi Kalemi mümeyyizi". Every annual entry from 1882/83 to 1904/05 places Mehmed Süreyya in the same post, Ticaret Mahkemesi zabıt kâtibi, in Edirne, the birthplace. In place of a title the lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1883/84 and Infisal for 1885/86.
The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 450 in 1904/05, the peak, in Edirne, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 14 years the salaries add up to 47,100 kuruş, 69 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1904/05.
