The life of Nikolaki Dosyos Efendi began in Istanbul in 1860/61 (AH 1277); the father's occupation was "Mabeyn-i Hümayun tabibi". At about 21, in 1881/82, Nikolaki Dosyos began work. The annual lists begin in 1881/82, with Nikolaki Dosyos as Hariciye Nezareti Umur-ı Şehbenderi Kalemi mülazımı and no place named.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 1,000 in 1889/90, when 81 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over eight years the salaries add up to 74,400 kuruş, 1.9 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1893/94.
