Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Faik Efendi began in Harput in 1845 (AH 1261). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). At about 16, in 1861/62, Mehmed Faik began work in Baghdad (Bağdat). The first annual entry, for 1861/62, places Mehmed Faik in Baghdad as Rüsûmat dairesi mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1861 to 1885 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Rüsûmat kâtibi. The lists have no entry for 1863 to 1869. Alongside, the lists for 1884 to 1886 give a second post, in Al-Shatrah as a customs official (Rüsumat Memuru). Alongside, the lists for 1885/86 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Rüsumat Memuru.
Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1861/62 to a peak of 500 in 1885/86, as Rüsumat Memuru, when 58 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 20 years of salary come to 50,040 kuruş, 49 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1885/86.
