Life and register readings

Receb Lebib Efendi was born in Antalya in 1866/67 (AH 1283); the father's occupation was "Tütüncü". At about 14, in 1879/80, Receb Lebib began work in Antalya. The first annual entry, for 1879/80, places Receb Lebib in Antalya, the birthplace, as Rüsum-ı Sitte İdaresi mülazımı. Next came a post with no place named from 1881 to 1890. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1890 give a second post, in Antalya as Düyun-ı Umumiye Müdürlüğü evrak mukayyidi.

The salary went from 57 kuruş a month in 1881/82 to 350 in 1885/86, the peak, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over eight years the salaries add up to 22,668 kuruş, 59 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1889/90.
