Life and register readings
The life of İsmail Firaki Efendi began in Sivas in 1863/64 (AH 1280). The first salary was 150 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with İsmail Firaki as vergi kâtibi refiki in Suşehri. Next came Koyulhisar from 1884 to 1892. The last entries, from 1893 to 1899, name İsmail Firaki as vergi kâtibi refiki, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1898. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1891/92.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 250 kuruş a month in 1883/84, in Suşehri, when one in five paid officials earned less. Over 11 years pay ended where it began, at 250 kuruş. In all, 11 years of salary come to 32,400 kuruş, 61 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1898/99.
