Life and register readings
The life of Mahmud Cemil Bey began in Mecca (Mekke) in 1855/56 (AH 1272); the father's occupation was "Karesi Sancağı muhasebecisi". Work began in Amasya in 1872/73, at about 16, on a first salary of 0 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1872/73, with Mahmud Cemil as Amasya Sancağı Tahrirat Kalemi mülazımı in Amasya. For 1874 to 1876 the lists have no entry. From 1876 to 1884 the annual entries place Mahmud Cemil in Istanbul. The lists give Vefat (death) for 1885/86 instead of a title. Istanbul, about 2,400 km from Mecca, was the post farthest from the birthplace; fewer than 2 per cent of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from home.
The salary went from 0 kuruş a month in 1872/73 to 590 in 1883/84, the peak, in Istanbul, when 68 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, nine years of salary come to 28,620 kuruş, 64 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1885/86.

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.
