Life

Born in Damascus (Şam) in 1874/75 (AH 1291), İlya İlyaho Efendi came from the Jewish (Musevi) community. Schooling took four years, at a community school (Millet Mektebi); İlya İlyaho also wrote Arabic and French.

Work began in Beirut (Beyrut) in 1892/93, at about 18, paid from the start, on 300 kuruş a month. Every annual entry from 1892/93 to 1894/95 places İlya İlyaho in the same post, official for foreign communications (Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti), in Beirut.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1892/93, as Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Beirut, when 17 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 10,800 kuruş, 60 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.
