Life and register readings

The life of SÜLEYMAN SIRRI EFENDİ (A) began in Tirana (Tiran) in 1869/70 (AH 1286). The first annual entry, for 1887/88, names SÜLEYMAN SIRRI (A) as Nüfus kâtibi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1891 to 1894. Alongside, the lists for 1890/91 give a second post, in Shkodër as Fırka-i Askeriye Tahrirat Kalemi görevlisi. The last post was in Krujë (Akçahisar) in 1894/95.

Pay rose from 125 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to a peak of 240 in 1894/95, in Krujë, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 7,380 kuruş, 38 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.
