Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Salih Efendi② began in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1872/73 (AH 1289). The first salary was 100 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with Salih Efendi② as Görevin sona ermesi and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1900. The last posts were in Feres (Ferecik) from 1900 to 1902 and Didymoteicho, the birthplace, in 1902/03.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 400 kuruş a month in 1900/01, in Feres, when 45 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1902/03.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
