Life and register readings

The life of MEHMET EMĠN EFENDĠ began in Antalya in 1848/49 (AH 1265). MEHMET EMĠN EFENDĠ began work in 1876/77, at about 27, on a first salary of 630 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1876/77, names MEHMET EMĠN EFENDĠ as Nahiye Muduru, with no place. For 1878 to 1880 the lists have no entry. Next came İskenderun from 1880 to 1887. Alongside, the lists for 1886/87 give a second post, in Mersin as Rüsumat müdüriyeti istimtorluğu.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 630 kuruş a month in 1876/77, as Nahiye Muduru, when 68 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1886/87.
