Notes on the source account

The first appointment date is garbled (1298 vs 6 Mayıs 1300).
The Konya transfer is dated before the 1322 asaleten appointment.
The workplace after Konya is unclear. The tensik was by the Sivas commission, while good service was certified by Niğde.
The müzekkere has conflicting dates (1324/1906 vs 1329/1911).
