Life and register readings

MUHAMMED SAİT BEG was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük), into the İslam community. The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). MUHAMMED SAİT BEG began work in Mosul (Musul) in 1880/81 (AH 1298). The annual lists begin in 1880/81, with MUHAMMED SAİT BEG as Muhasebe kalemi mülazımı in Mosul, where the entries run to 1891/92. The lists have no entry for 1892 to 1896. The last posts were in Kirkuk, the birthplace, from 1896 to 1903, with a rise to Sandık emini. For 1899 to 1902 the lists have no entry.

The salary went from 50 kuruş a month in 1881/82 to 607.5 in 1896/97, the peak, in Kirkuk, when 68 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 546.75 kuruş. In all, 15 years of salary come to 36,432 kuruş, 50 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1902/03.
