Life and register readings

Mihail Efendi was born in Aleppo (Halep) in 1863/64 (AH 1280), into the Katolik community, and the father's occupation was "Halep Evkaf Kitabeti memuru". At about 14, in 1877/78, Mihail began work in Aleppo. From the first annual entry, for 1877/78, to 1897/98, every annual entry places Mihail in the same post, Halep Vilayeti Muhasebe Kalemi memuru, in Aleppo, the birthplace. Fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.

The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1878 to 200 in 1897/98, the peak, in Aleppo, when 14 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 21 years of salary come to 22,950 kuruş, 22 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1897/98.
