At the same time, from 1880 to 1883, the lists also place Süleyman Akif in a post with no place named as Telgraf Merkezi muhabere memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1882 to 1884 give a second post, in Diyadin as Telgraf Merkezi muhabere memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1883 to 1885 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Telgraf Memuru, with a rise to Telgraf Memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1884 to 1887 give a second post, in Ayaş as Telgraf Merkezi ser muhabere memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1886 to 1889 give a second post, in Beypazarı as Telgraf Merkezi ser muhabere memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1890 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Telgraf Merkezi ser muhabere memuru. Süleyman Akif then moved to Dinar from 1890 to 1894. Alongside, the lists for 1893 to 1895 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Telgraf muhabere memuru.
