Life and register readings

The life of MEHMET NE ŞET EFEND İ began in Afyonkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Sahib); the father's occupation was "Arzuhalci". MEHMET NE ŞET İ began work in 1866/67 (AH 1283). The first annual entry, for 1866/67, names MEHMET NE ŞET İ as a candidate official (Mülazım), with no place, with a rise to Baskatip in 1869/70. Alongside, the lists for 1871/72 give a second post, in Afyonkarahisar as Meclis-i Temyiz Hukuk Başkâtibi. The annual lists then follow MEHMET NE ŞET İ to Bolvadin from 1878 to 1880. Alongside, the lists for 1879 to 1904 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kaymakam Vekili, with a rise to district governor (Kaymakam) in 1885/86. For 1881 to 1885 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1906 give a second post, in Bolvadin as Kaymakam. Entries spanning 41 years are rare, reached by fewer than 5 per cent of the 8,239 officials.

The salary went from 125 kuruş a month in 1867/68 to 1,250 in 1890/91, the peak, as Kaymakam, when 85 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 1,215 kuruş. In all, 27 years of salary come to 318,348 kuruş, 2.4 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.
