Life and register readings

The life of PASKO VASA EFENDİ began in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1825/26 (AH 1241). At about 24, in 1849/50, PASKO VASA began work, on a first salary of 0 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1849/50, places PASKO VASA in Istanbul as Bâb-ı Âli Tercüme Odası mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1849 to 1856 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tercüme Odası memuru. PASKO VASA then moved to Shkodër in 1856/57 and Karadag in 1860/61. Alongside, the lists for 1860 to 1862 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Meclis-i Askeri âzası. Alongside, the lists for 1861/62 give a second post, in Hersek as Fırka-i Askeriye tercümanı. The annual lists then follow PASKO VASA to Shkodër and Aleppo (Halep) from 1865 to 1869. Alongside, the lists for 1868 to 1878 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Divan-ı Ahkâm-ı Adliye mümeyyizi. The lists have no entry for 1870 to 1875. Alongside, the lists for 1875/76 give a second post, in Hersek as Hersek Islahat Komisyonu reisi. Alongside, the lists for 1875 to 1877 give a second post, in Bulgaristan as Bulgaristan Komisyonu azası.

The salary went from 0 kuruş a month in 1849/50 to 20,000 in 1882/83, the peak, in Cebeli lubnan, when 99 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1891/92.
