How to read this map

Connections join located entries in chronological stages; other recorded places stay in the text. Dashed connections pass intervening stages without a map position. They do not document a travel route or continuous service.

Entries within the same AH year are not ordered. Stages with more than one located locality remain unconnected; each source place stays visible.

2 stops kept as text without a verified locality point. No provincial capital is substituted.

Ancak Pirepol kaymakamlığından güvenliğin sağlanmasıgibi konularda hükumeti korumakta yetersiz olduğundan yerine dil bilen diğer birinin tayini talebiyle 10 Muharrem 1322'de azl edilmiştir. Hamidiye Hicaz demiryolu para yardımı için Pirepol Kazası memurlarından bazılarının yüzde on olarak 1317 senesi maaşlarına sarf u ita kılındığı anlaşıldığından taht-ı muhakemeye alınmıştır. Yapılan tedkikat neticesinde kaymakam-ı mümaileyhin beraatine şefaaten karar verilmişdir. Bulgaristan ihtilali sırasında Rusçuk ve Tırnova'da kurulan olağanüstü mahkemede savcı sıfatıyla istihdam olunmuştur.
