Life and register readings

Karaca Manuk Efendi was born in Aleppo (Halep) in 1843/44 (AH 1259). At about 29, in 1872/73, Karaca Manuk began work in Aleppo. The annual lists begin in 1872/73, with Karaca Manuk as Ticaret Mahkemesi görevlisi in Aleppo, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1878/79. The lists have no entry for 1875 to 1878 and 1879 to 1884. Next came Canik from 1884 to 1887. Alongside, the lists for 1886/87 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nakil. Alongside, the lists for 1886/87 give a second post, in Aleppo as Bidayet Mukavelat muharriri.

The salary went from 1,000 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to 2,000 in 1878/79, the peak, in Aleppo, when 88 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 1,400 kuruş. Over five years the salaries add up to 86,400 kuruş, 3.5 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1886/87.
