Life and register readings
The life of Mustafa Asım Efendi began in Ohrid (Ohri). Work began in Erbaa in 1865/66 (AH 1282), on a first salary of 500 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1865/66, places Mustafa Asım in Erbaa as tahrir-i emlak kayıt memuru (sermessah unvanlı), where the entries run to 1868/69. For 1869 to 1876 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1868/69 give a second post, in Terkos as tahrir-i emlak vukuat katibi. The annual lists then follow Mustafa Asım to Ruse in 1876/77. The lists have no entry for 1877 to 1879. The last posts were in Trabzon from 1879 to 1886. For 1881 to 1885 the lists have no entry.
The salary went from 500 kuruş a month in 1865/66 to 1,500 in 1876/77, the peak, in Ruse, when 86 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 500 kuruş. In all, seven years of salary come to 57,000 kuruş, 1.6 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1885/86.
