Life and register readings

Mahmut Avni Efendi was born in Erzincan into the İslam community. From the first annual entry, for 1908/09 (AH 1326), to 1910/11, every annual entry places Mahmut Avni in the same post, Liva tahrirat kalemi memuru, in Erzincan, the birthplace. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1910/11.

The salary went from 30 kuruş a month in 1908/09 to 250 in 1910/11, the peak, in Erzincan, when 13 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 3,720 kuruş, 20 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1910/11.
