Life and register readings
The life of İbrahim Behcet Efendi① began in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1859/60 (AH 1276). Work began in Didymoteicho in 1873/74, at about 14. The first annual entry, for 1873/74, places İbrahim Behcet Efendi① in Didymoteicho, the birthplace, as Telgraf ve Postahane stajyeri, where the entries run to 1884/85. The lists have no entry for 1885 to 1900. Alongside, the lists for 1884 to 1901 give a second post, in Alexandroupoli as Bidayet Mahkemesi zabıt kâtibi. The lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1900/01 instead of a title.
The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1875/76 to 450 in 1880/81, the peak, in Didymoteicho, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 11 years of salary come to 39,000 kuruş, 71 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.
