Life and register readings

The life of Süleyman Sakıb Efendi began in Gelibolu; the father's occupation was "Gelibolu Sancağı Tahrirat Müdür Muavini". Süleyman Sakıb began work in Gelibolu in 1904/05 (AH 1322), on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1904/05, with Süleyman Sakıb as Tahrirat Kalemi memuru in Gelibolu, the birthplace. For 1906 to 1908 the lists have no entry. The last post was in Keşan in 1908/09.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1904/05, in Gelibolu, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 10,200 kuruş, 69 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
