The inscription was found by Oshurkov in 1892 at the river Begre, a tributary of the Enisei. The stone was transported to the Minusinsk Martyanov Museum in 1916 and catalogued under No. 40 as part of the open air exhibition. It measures 143 x 39 x 27 centimetres. The text runs on all the four sides of the stone. A 3D model of the stone is available in the database of the RSSDA Laboratory under the number VE0701.

Comments

  1. ↑ The final word on the left side in line 2 is written most probably mistakenly as ⟨RlrmdmA⟩. The correct form should have been ⟨ẄlrmdmA⟩, see ⟨R⟩ and ⟨Ẅ⟩.
  2. ↑ The word alïnmïšïm is not a finite form as sometimes suggested in the literature, see e.g. 'ya bȳl vzyat (na vospitanie k kitaĭtsam)' in Малов (1952, 29), but a non-finite participle headed by the noun qunǰuy.
  3. ↑ Tekin (1964) pointed out that the runiform letters ⟨sIz⟩ are to be read as äsiz 'alas'.
  4. ↑ The runiform letters ⟨YITA⟩ are read as ayït a, that is the 2nd person imperative of the verb ayït- 'to say' with interjection.
  5. ↑ The phrase säkiz adaqlïɣ barïm most likely describes properties or belongings of the pastoral nomads pulled by four legged draught animals on four wheeled carts, hence the number eight.
