Cacaoglu the emir of Kirsehir in Anatolia in the time of ruling Mongolian IIkhanidian state had left vakfiye or the letter of foundation on his estates and properties in Arabic and Mongolian. Mongolian part of this letter, which had written in 1272 is a monument of the preclassic written Mongolian. As one of the preclassic written Mongolian monument, in the letter of Nur el-Din occur several words and expressions that from the aspects of writings and meanings might be interesting.
