Assigned salary in the annual career

Monthly kuruş · AH

Annual career record begins at AH 1286

Memur · istanbul · 500 kuruş monthly

First work is separately recorded at AH 1286 in istanbul. The first-salary field is 500 kuruş; it is not a dated point on this curve.

AH 1286 · 1869 labelRecorded first-work anchoristanbul

Monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash payments. Lines connect consecutive AH years only; hollow points mean salary not recorded. Competing entries in one AH year remain separate points, without a unique pay-change line. Gregorian values elsewhere are stored labels.

◆ Birthplace■ First work● Annual recordRing: multiple relations

Every recorded locality remains visible in the key. Hollow markers show candidate coordinates; these are not resolved locations. Overlapping markers are offset for legibility; a small anchor and leader retain the source coordinate. Coastlines provide modern geographic context.

Compare all recorded title, place and salary changes

Each comparison uses the preceding surviving entry.

Locality istanbul → sivas

A title change is not automatically a promotion; a locality change is not a reconstructed journey.

How to read the dates, birth-year differences and salaries

AH years are the ordering clock. Birth-year differences subtract uncontested AH birth and event year numbers; they are not exact ages or birthdays. Separately recorded first-job age fields can use a different or unresolved convention and are not substituted into this calculation. Gregorian years are stored dataset labels. The first-work field may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service, and does not establish the beginning of PT service.

Salaries are monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash disbursements. Differences between annual entries are not dated promotions or transfers. A source status such as Vefat is not a formal death date; no death locality is assigned from a last work place.

Recorded background

Preparation

School / programme: Sibyan mektebi
Schooling duration: 4 source-recorded years
Apprenticeship: 0.5 source-recorded years
Qualification indicator: 1
Telegraph school indicator: 0
Father’s occupation: imam
Recorded birth year: AH 1264
Religion wording: Musluman
Nationality wording: Turkish

Schooling years are a duration/classification, not an acquisition date. Education and training dates await source-linked structured records; no dates are inferred here. No completion date is inferred from a schooling duration.

Explicit source fields

First-work and entry-pay fields

First-work source date: AH 1286 · 1869 label
Place: istanbul
First-salary field: 500 kuruş
Source: recovered

The first-work date may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service. The first-salary amount is a separate inherited field; their presence together does not prove that payment began on this date. Neither is the first positive annual salary observation.

Recorded language repertoire

1 field contains historical terms.

Turkish: Kitabet (writing)

Only recorded terms are shown. Omitted language fields mean not recorded; they do not establish that the official lacked a language. Original competency wording is preserved; Kitabet (writing), Tekellum (speaking) and Asina (familiarity) are cautious historical glosses, not modern proficiency levels. Workbook language notes remain separately source-linked in the additional evidence. Read the terminology note.
