Life#
Dikran Rasim Efendi was born in Yozgat in 1857/58 (AH 1274). The record gives the community as Armenian Christian (Ermeni) and the father's occupation as Esnaf.

The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Armenian, with Kitabet; Persian, with Kitabet; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Istanbul in 1875/76 (AH 1292). The official was then about 17 years old. The record gives 3 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 400 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1878, the official was about 20 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1878, shows Muhabere Memuru in Aleppo (Halep), with 400 kuruş a month. In 1883/84 the record shows 2. Müdür in Misrata, the salary going from 500 to 1,000 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Aleppo). In 1885/86 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Süleymanlı (Zeytun), the salary going from 1,000 to 600 kuruş a month (before: 2. Müdür in Misrata).

The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 21 years with a salary the median is 500 kuruş a month, with 4 rises and 3 cuts. The largest rise, 500 kuruş, is seen in 1883/84. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 1.31 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1900/01, when 59 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
