I hope someone can translate this inscription.
I think this is very complicated because of the language.

If the notice you before?Hi Kurt
my background it's more based on "Arabic World" than on "Ottoman Empire"
- Tcherkessian either Causasian family names are foreigners for me, sorry :shrug:

Dear Dom ,
I asked a friend from the Caucasus because of the name "Bong"
Here is his answer:
in Caucasus we haven't the name Bong it's not Asian aria...,
His translation attempt :
Amal Chamafa bin (?Yunadj ??)
Dom would you verify this please.

Thanks again for the translation.
I'm sorry for asking for the name "Bong".
Perhaps the master was unable to write properly.
I have the same problems with the English language.
