Life and register readings
Mehmed Vehib Efendi was born in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1860/61 (AH 1277). At about 16, in 1877/78, Mehmed Vehib began work in Didymoteicho. The annual lists begin in 1877/78, with Mehmed Vehib as Tahrirat Kalemi stajyeri in Didymoteicho, the birthplace. Mehmed Vehib then moved to Didymoteicho from 1880 to 1887. For 1878 to 1880 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1896/97 give a second post, in Istanbul as İzin. Alongside, the lists for 1896 to 1900 give a second post, in Genç as Sancak Muhasebecisi. Alongside, the lists for 1899/1900 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nakil. In place of a title the lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1886/87 and Azil (dismissal) for 1896/97.
Pay rose from 500 kuruş a month in 1878 to a peak of 1,800 in 1896/97, as Sancak Muhasebecisi in Genç, when 91 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 19 years the salaries add up to 138,840 kuruş, 1.5 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1899/1900.
