Footnotes
- The document relates to the transition of the rights over the waqf institution in the city of Antep. Control of the institution had been in the hands of Fatima Khatun, the daughter of Muhammad Beg bin Ghauri, and was now being divided between the successors of Sultan Ghauri.
The tughra appears to be a later (though skilful) addition.
