Life and register readings

İsmail Hakkı Efendi① was born in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1889/90 (AH 1307). At about 14, in 1903/04, İsmail Hakkı Efendi① began work in Didymoteicho, on a first salary of 40 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1903/04, places İsmail Hakkı Efendi① in Didymoteicho, the birthplace, as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı odacısı, where the entries run to 1908/09. Alongside, the lists for 1907 to 1909 give a second post, in Uzunköprü as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı muhasebe kitabeti ikinci refiki.

Pay rose from 40 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to a peak of 250 in 1908/09, in Didymoteicho, when one in four paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 7,320 kuruş, 23 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
