Life and register readings
The life of Vehbi Efendi began in Antakya in 1850/51 (AH 1267); the father's occupation was "Harir Kâtibi". Work began in Antakya in 1889/90, at about 39, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, fewer than 4 per cent started at 39 or older. Every annual entry from 1889/90 to 1891/92 places Vehbi in the same post, Düyun-ı Umumiye Müdüriyeti Muvakkat Koza Kâtibi, in Antakya, the birthplace.
The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to 300 in 1891/92, the peak, in Antakya, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1891/92.
