Life and register readings

Recep Lebib Efendi was born in Antalya in 1866/67 (AH 1283); the father's occupation was "Tütüncü". Work began in Antalya in 1879/80, at about 14. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with Recep Lebib as Rüsumat idaresi mülazımı in Antalya, the birthplace. Next came a post with no place named from 1881 to 1890. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1890 give a second post, in Antalya as Düyun-ı Umumiye müdüriyeti evrak mukayyidi.

Pay rose from 57 kuruş a month in 1881/82 to a peak of 350 in 1885/86, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over nine years the salaries add up to 23,352 kuruş, 54 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1889/90.
