Said Efendi

Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Said Efendi began in Dagistan in 1865/66 (AH 1282). At about 30, in 1895/96, Said began work. The first annual entry, for 1895/96, names Said as Ağnam kâtibi, with no place.

The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to 300 in 1907/08, the peak, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, seven years of salary come to 16,800 kuruş, 48 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
