Life and register readings
The life of Selim Efendi began in Antakya in 1861/62 (AH 1278). Work began in Mersin in 1886/87, at about 25, on a first salary of 500 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1886/87, to 1888/89, every annual entry places Selim in the same post, Manifesto Mütercimliği ve Eşya-ı Aliyye Memuriyet İntizamı ile Rüsumat Müdüriyeti Ambar Memurluğu, in Mersin. The lists give Vefat (death) for 1888/89 instead of a title.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 500 kuruş a month in 1886/87, in Mersin, when 57 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1888/89.
