Life and register readings
Born in Kemaliye (Eğin), Mahmud Hilmi Efendi came from the İslam community. The first annual entry, for 1867/68 (AH 1284), places Mahmud Hilmi in Çankırı as Posta müdürü. For 1868 to 1870 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow Mahmud Hilmi to a post with no place named from 1870 to 1885, then Ioannina in 1888/89. The lists have no entry for 1871 to 1884 and 1885 to 1888. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1899 give a second post, in Damascus as Telgraf ve Posta başmüdürü. For 1899 to 1903 the lists have no entry. The last post was in Beirut (Beyrut) in 1903/04.
Pay rose from 2,000 kuruş a month in 1884/85 to a peak of 3,000 in 1898/99, in Damascus, when 96 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 12 years the salaries add up to 358,800 kuruş, 6.2 times what an official on the median salary earned. Over the years with a salary, pay stood on average in the top 5.2 per cent of each year's paid officials, a standing reached by fewer than 2 per cent of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more. The last annual entry is for 1903/04.
