Life and register readings
The life of Zekeriya Zihni Efendi began in Tokat in 1875/76 (AH 1292). Work began in 1900/01, at about 25, on a first salary of 765 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1900/01, names Zekeriya Zihni as örf ve sağlık muallimi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1904 to 1912. At the same time, from 1913/14, the lists also place Zekeriya Zihni in Tekirdağ as sancak mutasarrıfı. The lists give Infisal for 1903/04 instead of a title.
Pay rose from 765 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to a peak of 5,000 in 1913/14, in Tekirdağ, when 94 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 121,020 kuruş, 3.1 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1913/14.
