Life and register readings

MUHAMMET MUHLİS EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1869/70 (AH 1286); the father's occupation was "Amara Umman-ı Osmani ajantalığında müstahdem". Work began in 1884/85, at about 16, on a first salary of 120 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1884/85, with MUHAMMET MUHLİS as Tahrirat kalemi mübeyyizi and no place named. For 1899 to 1906 the lists have no entry. The last posts were in Basra from 1906 to 1908.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1884/85 to a peak of 500 in 1891/92, when 56 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.
