Life and register readings
Mehmed Arif Efendi was born in Malatya in 1877/78 (AH 1294); the father's occupation was "Bölük Emini (emekli)". At about 32, in 1909/10, Mehmed Arif began work in Gemlik, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1909/10 to 1912/13 places Mehmed Arif in the same post, Bidayet Mahkemesi Müddei-i Umumi Muavini, in Gemlik.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 100 kuruş a month in 1909/10, in Gemlik, when 1 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 6,000 kuruş, 12 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.

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.
