Life and register readings
Born in Rahvika in 1813/14 (AH 1229), Hüseyin Zühdü Efendi came from the İslam community. At about 28, in 1842/43, Hüseyin Zühdü began work in Drama. From the first annual entry, for 1842/43, to 1883/84, every annual entry places Hüseyin Zühdü in the same post, müderris (Yıldırım Bayezid Han Medresesi), in Drama. A career like this is rare; 14 of the 446 officials whose entries span 40 years or more stayed in one place throughout. Few careers in the lists are as long; fewer than 4 per cent of the 8,239 officials have entries spanning 44 years or more.
Pay rose from 0 kuruş a month in 1851/52 to a peak of 300 in 1883/84, in Drama, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 14 years the salaries add up to 27,936 kuruş, 38 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1883/84.
