Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed DerviĢ Sirozî Efendi began in Medina (Medine) in 1867/68 (AH 1284). Work began in Medina in 1882/83, at about 16. From the first annual entry, for 1882/83, to 1910/11, every annual entry places Mehmed DerviĢ Sirozî in the same post, Hazine-i Nebevî Tahrirat Kalemi, in Medina, 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 15 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to 100 in 1910/11, the peak, in Medina, when 1 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 14 years of salary come to 7,500 kuruş, 10 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1910/11.
