Life and register readings

İsmail Derviş Efendi was born in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1860/61 (AH 1277). Work began in Didymoteicho in 1889/90, at about 29, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1889/90, places İsmail Derviş in Didymoteicho, the birthplace, as Düyun-ı Umumiye süvari tahsildarı, where the entries run to 1893/94. Alongside, the lists for 1893/94 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Düyun-ı Umumiye memuru.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to a peak of 300 in 1893/94, when 27 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, five years of salary come to 15,600 kuruş, 65 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1893/94.
