Life and register readings
Kostaki Vayani Efendi was born in Nevşehir in 1845/46 (AH 1262); the father's occupation was "Ticaret ve sarraflık". At about 23, in 1869/70, Kostaki Vayani began work, on a first salary of 1,100 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1869/70, names Kostaki Vayani as Ticaret Mahkemesi bahriye tercümanı, with no place. For 1870 to 1873, 1874 to 1877 and 1883 to 1902 the lists have no entry.
The salary went from 1,100 kuruş a month in 1869/70 to 5,000 in 1879/80, the peak, when 96 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 402,000 kuruş, 8.2 times what an official on the median salary earned, a level reached by fewer than 3 per cent of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more. The last annual entry is for 1902/03.
