Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Sabri Efendi began in Saso, Giresun. Work began in Hayrabolu in 1907/08 (AH 1325), on a first salary of 1,200 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1907/08, places Mustafa Sabri in Hayrabolu as Naip, where the entries run to 1909/10. The last posts were in Denizli from 1911 to 1913.

Pay rose from 1,200 kuruş a month in 1907/08 to a peak of 2,500 in 1911, in Denizli, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 133,200 kuruş, 2.6 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
