Notes on the source account

İki 1889 naklinde yazılan AH 1302, Miladi 1889/Rumi 1305 ile yıl bakımından uyuşmaz. Her iki kanonik yıl bilinmiyor; kaynak yılları alternatiflerde korundu. Bu çelişkili tarihler üzerinden yıllık hizmet veya ücret sürekliliği kurulmadı.
Üsküp naklindeki 27 Teşrinisani 1307, eşlenen 8 Ocak 1892 ve 7 Cemaziyelahir 1309 ile tam tarih bakımından uyuşmaz. Açık AH 1309 tarihi korundu; Rumi karşılık düzeltilmedi.
Son görev yerinin kaynak yazımı 'Jozelinçe !'; başka bir yer adına dönüştürmek için yeterli kanıt yok.
