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.

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

Musul Vilayetince kanunen azlini gerektirecek bir hali olduğundan oraya Abdurrahman Paşa'nın tayini ile tebdiline karar verilmiştir. 22 Şevval 1286'dan 17 Zilkâde'ye kadar Meclis-i Rüsumat Kalemi müsevvidliğinde istihdam olunmuş, 7 Zilhicce 1313'de Humus Sancağı mutasarrıflığına tayin edilmiştir. Oranın havasına uyum sağlayamadığından Trablusgarb belediye tabibinin raporunda da hastalığının etkisi sebebiyle başka bir yerde tedaviye muhtaç olması sebebiyle 25 Rebiü'l-âhir 1314'de istifa ederek ayrılmıştır. 26 Muharrem 315 tarihinde Menteşe Mutasarrıflığına memur olmuştur. (BOA SAD 47/119) ve 4 Rebiü'l-evvel 1317 tarihinde Yozgad mutasarrıflığına nakl olunmuş, ancak yine mahal havasına uyum sağlayamadığından 16 Zilhicce'de infisal etmiştir 19 Receb 1318'de Trablusşam, 15 Şaban 1318'de becayişen Hama Sancakları mutasarrıflıklarına nakl buyurulmuştur. (BOA SAD 47/120) Celal Bey ile Urfa savcı muavini Arif ve Ceza Reisi Ali Yaver Efendiler hakkında bazı ifadeye dair Haleb Vilayeti'nden Dahiliye Nezareti'ne merbut iki kıta tahrirat Şura-yı Devlete havale ve kendisinin verdiği arzuhal ekiyle okunmuştur. Birinci tahriratda Celal Bey'in bazı uygunsuz halleri mutasarrıf tarafından bildirilip Celal Bey'in merkez vilayete uğramadan Malatya yoluyla kaçması hakkında düzenlenen işlemin icrasını re'ye bağlanmış ve Arif ve Ali Yaver Efendilerin Urfa'da ve Haleb'de herkesin sanında kötü olup eskiden adliye müfettişi sabık Asaf Efendi'nin tahkikatı üzerine vilayet İstinaf Mahkemesi Ceza Dairesi'nde muhakemelerine dair Adliye Nezareti'nden gelen emirle işinden el çektirilmiş ve tutulan kayıtlarda haklarındaki şikayetleri doğrulamasına rağmen nasılsa memuriyetlerine iade edilmeleri cesaretlerini arttıran biçimde olduğunu beyan ermiştir. İkinci tahriratında Celal Bey'in Evkaf bedelatından gayri meşru biçimde on sekiz bin guruşdan onüç bin guruşa mukaddema kendisinden tahsil olunup bin beşyüz guruş kaldığı gibi servetçe gizli ağnam namıyla fuzuli ve kaza mal sandığından beşbin beşyüz guruşdan toplam on bin küsur guruşun istihsali mahal mutasarrıflığından Zabtiye Nezareti'nin iş'arıyla dermiyan kılınmıştır. (BOA SAD 4/56) Celal Bey hakkındaki kötü hal ve rüşvetten şikayet olunması üzerine yapılan tahkikatta rivayet ve şikayetlerin asıl ve sabit olduğu ancak şikayetnamedeki mühürlerin sahte olduğu ve evkaf müdürünün fesadı olduğu anlaşılmakla merkez mutasarrıflığına alınması inha edilmiştir. Ancak yaptığı çalışmalardan dolayı mirmiranlığa terfi edilmiştir. Urfa Sancağı'nda bu tür memurların memleketin selameti için diğer vilayete nakl edilmeleri bildirilmiş ise de mahkeme ile tebrie-i zimmet ederek memuriyete iade olunmuş ise de azli kanun ve kaide-i adalete muvaffak olamayacağına binaen işar olunmuştur. Urfa Sancağı'nda tahrir-i nüfus ve ağnam memurlarının intihabı ve Hicaz vilayeti havalisinden nakden toplanan paranın irsali hususlarında ikdam ve gayreti olmuştur. Maden mutasarrıflığında hengâmda çekirge imhası ve ağnamın tezayüdü hususlarında muvaffak olmuştur. (BOA SAD 4/57) 30; BOA SAD 4/57; BOA SAD 47/119; BOA SAD 47/120
