Life and register readings

İsmail Efendi was born in Medina (Medine) in 1852/53 (AH 1269); the father's occupation was "Adile Sultan'ın sersebilcisi". Work began in 1870/71, at about 17. The annual lists begin in 1870/71, with İsmail as Hazine-i Celile-i Divaniye Muhasebe Kalemi görevlisi and no place named. At the same time, from 1882/83, the lists also place İsmail in Medina as Şevne kitabet muavini ve kantarcı.

The salary went from 40 kuruş a month in 1876/77 to 140 in 1882/83, the peak, in Medina, when 8 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, eight years of salary come to 6,030 kuruş, 15 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1882/83.
