This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Zağniyari Ksenofon Efendi began in Kütahya in 1865/66 (AH 1282); the father's occupation was "Aşar işleri ve ticaret". Zağniyari Ksenofon began work in Istanbul in 1894/95, at about 29. The first annual entry, for 1894/95, places Zağniyari Ksenofon in Istanbul as Müskirat Nezareti mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1901 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Geçici Şirre memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1900/01 give a second post, in Istanbul as Müskirat Nezareti tahsildarı.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 500 kuruş a month in 1895/96, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
