The first annual entry, for 1876/77, names Mehmet Nuri as Debbağhane-i askeri kâtibi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1877 to 1890 and 1891 to 1894.

Pay rose from 320 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 864 in 1897/98, when four in five paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1897/98.
