Life and register readings

Born in Orta Köy, Karahisar nahiyesi, Kayseri in 1863/64 (AH 1280), Petro Teodoridi Efendi was the child of a merchant (tüccar). Petro Teodoridi began work in 1889/90, at about 26, on a first salary of 600 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1889/90, names Petro Teodoridi as Belediye doktoru, with no place. For 1892 to 1910 the lists have no entry. The last posts were in Istanbul from 1910 to 1913.

The salary went from 600 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to 2,000 in 1912/13, the peak, in Istanbul, when two in three paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 52,200 kuruş, 1.7 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
