MEHMET ZARİF EFENDİ was born in Erzincan into the İslam community. Work began in Ergani in 1886/87 (AH 1304), on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1886/87, places MEHMET ZARİF in Ergani as Evkaf Müdürü. For 1887 to 1892 the lists have no entry. Next came Mersin from 1892 to 1896. At the same time, from 1895 to 1899, the lists also place MEHMET ZARİF in İzmit as Evkaf Müdürü. In place of a title the lists give Vefat (death) for 1898/99.
