Life and register readings
The life of Mahmud Nihad Efendi began in Dagistan in 1873/74 (AH 1290); the father's occupation was "Rençber". Mahmud Nihad began work in Xanthi (İskeçe) in 1890/91, at about 17. From the first annual entry, for 1890/91, to 1905/06, every annual entry places Mahmud Nihad in the same post, Mahkeme-i şer‘iye kalemi mülazımı, in Xanthi. Xanthi, about 1,850 km from Dagistan, was the post farthest from the birthplace; fewer than 5 per cent of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from home.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1896/97, in Xanthi, when 26 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 11,700 kuruş, 58 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.
