Life and register readings

Mustafa Sabri Efendi was born in Harput in 1864/65 (AH 1281); the father's occupation was "İbtidai mektebi muallimi". Work began in 1886/87, at about 22. The annual lists begin in 1886/87, with Mustafa Sabri as Askerlik and no place named. For 1887 to 1892 the lists have no entry. At the same time, from 1900/01, the lists also place Mustafa Sabri in Rumkale as Nüfus memuru vekili. Next came Jisr al-Shughur (Cisr-i Şugur) from 1901 to 1903. Alongside, the lists for 1902 to 1906 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Sandık emini. The annual lists then follow Mustafa Sabri to Jisr al-Shughur in 1907/08. Alongside, the lists for 1907/08 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Sandık emini.

Pay rose from 205 kuruş a month in 1896/97 to a peak of 360 in 1902/03, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, ten years of salary come to 36,240 kuruş, 73 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.
