The annual lists begin in 1853/54, with İsmail Şevki as Niyabet-i şeriye istihdamı and no place named. For 1854 to 1866 and 1867 to 1870 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow İsmail Şevki to Kocgiri, Kahramanmaraş (Maraş) and Diyarbakır from 1870 to 1883, with a rise to Mal Muduru in 1870/71.
