Life and register readings
Süleyman Sırrı Efendi was born in Ohrid (Ohri); the father's occupation was "Hükkâm-ı şer'i (kadı/naib)". Work began in 1886/87 (AH 1304), on a first salary of 480 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1886/87, names Süleyman Sırrı as Sınıf-ı Mahsus Arapça Hocası, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1889 to 1906 and 1907 to 1909. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1909/10.
Pay rose from 480 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 1,200 in 1906/07, when 84 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 34,560 kuruş, 1.7 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.
