Life#
Yosef Sava Efendi was born in Deir al-Qamar (Deyrülkamer) in 1846/47 (AH 1263). The record gives the community as Greek Orthodox Christian (Rum).
Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded, at a place worded Beyrut. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: French, with Kitabet; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Beirut (Beyrut) in 1865/66 (AH 1282): Rusumat Kalemi. The official was then about 18 years old. The record gives 4 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 500 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1871/72, the official was about 24 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1871/72, shows Rüsumat Memuru, with 500 kuruş a month. In 1876/77 the record shows Başmüdür Kitabeti in Suriye, the salary going from 465 to 600 kuruş a month (before: Rüsumat Memuru). In 1882/83 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Suriye, the salary going from 570 to 500 kuruş a month (before: Başmüdür Kitabeti in Suriye). In 1894/95 the record shows 2. Müdür in Samos (Sisam), the salary going from 500 to 1,000 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Suriye). In 1895/96 the record shows 2.

The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 34 years with a salary the median is 570 kuruş a month, with 2 rises and 4 cuts. The largest rise, 500 kuruş, is seen in 1894/95.
