Life and register readings

Mustafa Sabri Efendi was born in Sivas. Work began in Beirut (Beyrut) in 1867/68 (AH 1284), on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1867/68, places Mustafa Sabri in Beirut as Zaptiye 5. süvari bölüğü askeri. The lists have no entry for 1868 to 1870. Next came Damascus in 1870/71. The last posts were in Beirut again from 1871 to 1879.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1867/68 to a peak of 500 in 1871/72, in Beirut, when 54 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1878/79.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
