Life and register readings

Oseb Papazyan Efendi was born in Harput in 1864/65 (AH 1281); the father was a merchant (tüccar). At about 18, in 1882/83, Oseb Papazyan began work, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1882/83, names Oseb Papazyan as Tarik peygurluğu, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1883 to 1888 give a second post, in Arapgir as Tarik peygurluğu. Alongside, the lists for 1887/88 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tarik peygurluğu.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 500 in 1887/88, the peak, when 54 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1887/88.
