Life and register readings
The life of Nikola Çali Efendi began in Korçë (Görice) in 1845 (AH 1261). Work began in Pazar (Atina) in 1863/64, at about 18. The first annual entry, for 1863/64, places Nikola Çali in Pazar as Atina Sefareti fahri ataşesi, where the entries run to 1879/80. The lists have no entry for 1880 to 1895. The last entry, for 1895/96, names Nikola Çali as Malta başşehbenderi, with no place. Pazar, about 1,700 km from Korçë, was the post farthest from the birthplace; fewer than 6 per cent of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from home.
The salary went from 0 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to 3,000 in 1895/96, the peak, when 95 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1895/96.
