It is written in Turkish when they still used Arabic alphabet. what is reads can be put into 2 ways.
1207 عمل محمو صاحب داود بک توکلی علی خالق عبد
the 1207 ofcourse being all the way to the right, right now is 1432-1207=225 years ago. next word is 'Amal (made by) here is when it all becomes a bit confusing. it Could be read as Mahmou Saaheb Daawoud Bek ( Mahmou is not a name I am aware of) but Mahmoud is. so it is possible that a D got left out somewhere. The rest Tawakeli 'alaa Khaaleq e 'abd would mean Rely or Trust in creator of this slave. Then again i don't speak Turkish and using Persian and Arabic I cam to the above conclution
