Life and register readings

Born in Harput in 1837/38 (AH 1253), İdris Rahmi Efendi came from the İslam community. İdris Rahmi studied at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

Work began in Harput in 1858/59, at about 21. The first annual entry, for 1858/59, places İdris Rahmi in Harput, the birthplace, as Arazi kalemi mülazımı. For 1859 to 1865 the lists have no entry. At the same time, from 1869 to 1873, the lists also place İdris Rahmi in Diyarbakır as Rüsûmat müdüriyeti başkâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1872 to 1888 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Rusumat Muduru, with a rise to Rusumat Muduru. Alongside, the lists for 1887 to 1891 give a second post, in Arapgir as Mal Muduru. Alongside, the lists for 1890 to 1892 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Mal Muduru. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1894 give a second post, in Çemişgezek as Mal Muduru. The last posts were in Keban from 1894 to 1897.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1865/66 to 730 in 1869/70, the peak, in Diyarbakır, when 69 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 33 years the salaries add up to 206,640 kuruş, 1.3 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.
