Life and register readings
Mehmed Efendi was born in Antakya in 1867/68 (AH 1284); the father's occupation was "Attar". Work began in Antakya in 1887/88, at about 20. The first annual entry, for 1887/88, names Mehmed as stajyer, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1893/94 give a second post, in Jisr al-Shughur as Düyun-ı Umumiye Memur Vekili. Mehmed then moved to Samandağ in 1894/95. Alongside, the lists for 1894 to 1898 give a second post, in Birecik as Düyun-ı Umumiye Memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1897/98 give a second post, in Jisr al-Shughur as Düyun-ı Umumiye Memuru.
Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to a peak of 400 in 1894/95, in Birecik, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 34,800 kuruş, 71 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1897/98.
