Life and register readings
The life of MEHMET VASFĠ EFENDĠ began in Ibradi in 1859/60 (AH 1276). MEHMET VASFĠ EFENDĠ began work in Ioannina (Yanya) in 1890/91, at about 31, on a first salary of 1,000 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1890/91, with MEHMET VASFĠ EFENDĠ as Bidayet mahkemesi müstantıkı in Ioannina, where the entries run to 1892/93. Next came Komotini (Gümülcine) from 1898 to 1902. Alongside, the lists for 1901/02 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Ticaret mahkemesi reisi. The last post was in Ankara in 1903/04. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1892/93 and 1895 to 1897.
The salary went from 1,000 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to 1,500 in 1901/02, the peak, when 88 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 1,350 kuruş. In all, 12 years of salary come to 182,760 kuruş, 3.1 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1903/04.
