Life and register readings

Mehmed Tevfik Efendi was born in Tarsus into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Tarsus mülga Meclis-i Deavi azası; Defter-i Hakani memuru". Work began in Adana in 1869/70 (AH 1286). The annual lists begin in 1869/70, with Mehmed Tevfik as Divan-ı Temyiz mukayyidi in Adana. For 1870 to 1894 the lists have no entry. The last entries, from 1900 to 1907, name Mehmed Tevfik as Açığa çıkarılma, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1900. For 1901 to 1906 the lists have no entry. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1894/95 instead of a title.

The one salary in the lists is 700 kuruş a month, for 1869/70, when 67 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.
