Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Ferhad Efendi began in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1842/43 (AH 1258). At about 28, in 1870/71, Mehmed Ferhad began work in Komotini, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1870/71 to 1883/84 places Mehmed Ferhad in the same post, Şer‘iyye Mahkemesi mukayyidi, in Komotini, the birthplace. The lists give Infisal for 1878 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1870/71 to a peak of 300 in 1873/74, in Komotini, when one in three paid officials earned less. In all, 13 years of salary come to 41,400 kuruş, 63 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1883/84.
