With the help of a friend, the text was read .Year 1218 (Circa 1803). Made by Hajji (pilgrim) Nouh, owner Halil Ağa.
Ağa is a military rank which has no equvelance in today's miltary and it is between a captain and a major.
Ağa usullay cammanded 1000 jennissaries.
The rest are the names of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus
