1810
(A.H. date) x .97 + 622 = (A.D. date) This equation can be off a month but it is close enough for our purposes. Norman your math was correct just wrong symbols for numbers

Hi Ward,
Thank you, I wasn't 100% sure re the arithmetic.
My Regards,
Norman.

Hi,
I was on vacation and could not follow the forum for a while.

The first inscription:

Amel-i İbrahim sahib Ömer Beşe 1225 (work of ibrahim, owner Ömer Beşe - the title "beşe" denoting that he was a janissary- 1810)

I could not figure out the second one yet, I can read some parts of it but cannot give any meaning without reading other parts.

Best,

Hi,

Sorry for resuscitating an old post, but I've accidetally came along this post today and I still have the piece and I'd really like to know what the second inscription says.

Somebody can help?

Thank you.

I still can't read the first part, but the last two words as far as I can read are:

salih 'abd (righteous worshipper)

Possibly Dom can help for the rest.
