The inscription was found by Aspelin in 1888 on a slope two kilometres away from the river Tarlak, a tributary of Uyuk. The stone was transported to the Minusinsk Martyanov Museum in 1916 and catalogued under No. 20. It measures 183 x 33 centimetres. A 3D model of the stone is available in the database of the RSSDA Laboratory under the number XZ0510.

O sorrow! O my realm, o my consort, o my son, o my people! O my sorrow! I was in the age of sixty.
My name was El Togan Totok. I was the ambassador for my heavenly realm. I was the ruler of the six alliances.

Comments

↑ Tekin (1964) has pointed out that the runiform letters ⟨sIz⟩ are to be read as äsiz 'alas'.
↑ Erdal (2002: 60) is of the opinion that the word elči is better to understand as 'ruler'.
