Life and register readings

Born in Burdur in 1859/60 (AH 1276) into the Hristiyan community, Teodorus Efendi (H. 1276 / M. 1859-1860) was the child of a merchant (tüccar). Work began in Burdur in 1878/79, at about 19. The annual lists begin in 1878/79, with Teodorus (H. 1276 / M. 1859-1860) as Tahrirat Kalemi stajyeri in Burdur, the birthplace. Alongside, the lists for 1881 to 1892 give a second post, in Burdur as Anbar memuru. For 1885 to 1887 and 1892 to 1897 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow Teodorus (H. 1276 / M. 1859-1860) to Kastoria in 1897/98. Alongside, the lists for 1897/98 give a second post, in Fethiye as Duyûn-ı Umûmiyye memuru.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to 400 in 1881/82, the peak, in Burdur, when 46 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1897/98.
