Life and register readings
Mehmed Efendi was born in Gaziantep (Antep) in 1841/42 (AH 1257). At about 42, in 1882/83, Mehmed began work in Aleppo (Halep), on a first salary of 400 kuruş. Few began so late; fewer than 3 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 42 or older. The annual lists begin in 1882/83, with Mehmed as Halep Vilayeti Muhasebe Kalemi adliye hesap kâtibi in Aleppo, where the entries run to 1885/86. Alongside, the lists for 1885 to 1888 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Mal Muduru, with a rise to Mal Muduru. The annual lists then follow Mehmed to Misir from 1889 to 1891. Alongside, the lists for 1890 to 1892 give a second post, in İskenderun as Ziraat Bankası muhasebe kâtibi. The lists have no entry for 1892 to 1898. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1899 give a second post, in Harem as Ziraat Bankası muhasebe kâtibi. The last post was in Gaziantep, the birthplace, in 1901/02.
The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 500 in 1898/99, the peak, in Harem, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1901/02.
