Firstly, based on the HK copy, the text was written in transcription alphabet and compared with the copy in the Gunnar Jarring Collection and the edition-critical text was created. The orthography, phonology and morphology features of the text, which has the characteristics of Chagatai Turkic and was copied in the 19th century, were determined.
