Annual salary study and register readings

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 Mehmed Necib Bey began in Argir in 1865/66 (AH 1282). Work began in 1882/83, at about 17. The annual lists begin in 1882/83, with Mehmed Necib as Hariciye Nezareti Mektubî Evrak Kalemi mülazımı and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1883 to 1885 and 1886 to 1890. The annual lists then follow Mehmed Necib to Tiflis from 1890 to 1892. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1894 give a second post, in Batumi as Batum Başşehbenderhanesi şehbender vekili ve kançılar. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1893/94.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 1,000 kuruş a month in 1890/91, in Tiflis, when four in five paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 48,000 kuruş, 2.5 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1893/94.

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.
