Life

This official, whose name is not recorded, was born in Chios (Sakız) in 1855/56 (AH 1272). The record gives the community as Greek Orthodox Christian (Rum).

Schooling recorded: Fransız Mektebi (French school), with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration).

First work is recorded in Chios in 1877/78 (AH 1294). The official was then about 21 years old. The record gives 4 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 300 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1880/81, the official was about 25 years old.

The first annual entry, for 1880/81, shows Posta Memuru in Chios, with 300 kuruş a month. In 1902/03 the record shows Posta Memuru in Edirne, with 500 kuruş a month (before: Posta Memuru in Chios). No annual entry is recorded for 1897 to 1902.

The highest salary, 500 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1883/84 as Posta Memuru. 43 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 18 years with a salary the median is 500 kuruş a month, with 1 rise and no cuts. The largest rise, 200 kuruş, is seen in 1883/84. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 2.35 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1902/03, when 49 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
