Life and register readings
Ömer Şevki Efendi was born in Sivas in 1838/39 (AH 1254). At about 19, in 1857/58, Ömer Şevki began work. The first annual entry, for 1857/58, places Ömer Şevki in Sivas, the birthplace, as muhasebe kalemi stajyeri, where the entries run to 1884/85. The lists have no entry for 1858 to 1868 and 1873 to 1884. Alongside, the lists for 1884 to 1889 give a second post, in a post with no place named as aşar muvakkat sevk memuru. For 1889 to 1891 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1885/86 give a second post, in Kocgiri as kaymakam vekili (İnfisal). The last post was in Tokat in 1900/01. The lists have no entry for 1894 to 1900. Few careers in the lists are as long; fewer than 3 per cent of the 8,239 officials have entries spanning 45 years or more.
Pay rose from 600 kuruş a month in 1868/69 to a peak of 1,620 in 1900/01, as Sancak Muhasebecisi in Tokat, when 91 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 65,580 kuruş, 1.9 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.
