Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Ziyaeddin Efendi began in Harput in 1866/67 (AH 1283). Work began in 1879/80, at about 14. The first annual entry, for 1879/80, names Mehmed Ziyaeddin as Vilayet mektupçu kalemi mülazımı, with no place.

Pay rose from 35 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to a peak of 300 in 1887/88, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 5,280 kuruş, 22 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1887/88.
