Life and register readings

The life of Kasım Sıdkı Efendi began in Birecik. Kasım Sıdkı began work in Birecik in 1867/68 (AH 1284). The annual lists begin in 1867/68, with Kasım Sıdkı as Telgraf idaresi stajyeri in Birecik, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1875/76. The lists have no entry for 1869 to 1872. Alongside, the lists for 1875/76 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Emlak kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1875 to 1884 give a second post, in Zor as Defter-i hakani kalemi başkâtibi. For 1884 to 1886 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1882/83 give a second post, in Raqqa as Rüşdiye öğretmeni. The last entries, from 1883 to 1888, name Kasım Sıdkı as Nahiye görevlisi, with no place.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1872/73 to 750 in 1886/87, the peak, when 73 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1887/88.
