Süleyman Efendi② was born in Pristina (Priştine) in 1865/66 (AH 1282). Work began in 1881/82, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1881/82, names Süleyman Efendi② as Muhasebe Kalemi stajyeri, with no place.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1884/85 to a peak of 188 in 1888/89, when 14 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, five years of salary come to 9,456 kuruş, 39 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1888/89.
