Life and register readings

Mehmet Fevzi Efendi was born in Elbistan in 1862/63 (AH 1279). The first salary was 1,250 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1895/96, with Mehmet Fevzi as Görevin sona ermesi and no place named. Mehmet Fevzi then moved to Hınıs from 1896 to 1900. Alongside, the lists for 1899/1900 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Görevin sona ermesi.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 1,500 kuruş a month in 1896/97, in Hınıs, when 88 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 72,000 kuruş, 3.6 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

Places in order of time
