Life and register readings
The life of Said Lütfi Efendi began in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1864/65 (AH 1281); the father's occupation was "Dimetoka Kazası Mahkeme-i Şeriye kâtibi". The annual lists begin in 1881/82, with Said Lütfi as Rüşdiye diploması (Görevin sona ermesi) and no place named. Said Lütfi then moved to Didymoteicho in 1882/83. For 1883 to 1900 the lists have no entry. The last posts were in Enez (İnoz) from 1900 to 1903. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1902/03 instead of a title.
The salary went from 60 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 500 in 1900/01, the peak, in Enez, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1902/03.

Career and salary#
Log scale: equal steps are equal ratios. The median of the same title is drawn for the years in which at least 5 officials with that title had a salary, and the median of the same province for the years in which at least 5 officials were paid in the province of the official's salary that year.
