Life and register readings
Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi was born in Kilis in 1883/84 (AH 1301); the father was a merchant (tüccar). The first annual entry, for 1901/02, places Hüseyin Hüsnü in Kilis, the birthplace, as Âşâr-ı münakalat kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1901 to 1904 give a second post, in Jisr al-Shughur as Mal müdürü refakat memuru. At the same time, from 1903 to 1908, the lists also place Hüseyin Hüsnü in Aleppo (Halep) as Bakaya-yı atika muhasebe kâtibi.
The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1901/02 to 400 in 1906/07, the peak, in Aleppo, when 41 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 25,800 kuruş, 73 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.
