Life and register readings
The life of Mustafa Arif Efendi began in Thessaloniki (Selanik) in 1872/73 (AH 1289). Mustafa Arif began work in Istanbul in 1898/99, at about 26. The annual lists begin in 1898/99, with Mustafa Arif as Bidayet Mahkemesi İkinci Hukuk Dairesi mülazımı and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1899 to 1901 give a second post, in Preveza as Bidayet Mahkemesi Muddei Umumi Muavini. The last entries, from 1901 to 1909, name Mustafa Arif as Bidayet Mahkemesi Muddei Umumi Muavini, with a rise to Bidayet Mahkemesi Ceza Dairesi reisi in 1904/05, with no place.
The salary went from 1,200 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to 1,500 in 1904/05, the peak, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 92,160 kuruş, 3.2 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. On average the pay stood in the top 12.3 per cent of each year's paid officials; fewer than 5 per cent of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more stood as high. The last annual entry is for 1908/09.
