Post #3,
similarly some of the names of seven sleepers:
Yemliha, Meksalina, Mislina, Mernuş, Debernuş
but the rest are missing.

I am not very sure about the makers name, and I could not the second inscription.

Many thanks for the translations Zifir!

I think I pretty much covered all of the inscriptions but I will check and upload anything missing.

Just trying my hand at etching using 1:3 ferric chloride:water solution. I shouldn't have any problem with the silver inlay should I?

I believe they are arabified versions of Roman names.
Ottoman Turks probably learned them through Arab/Islamic sources.

According to the seller this yataghan is 113 cm long. Unfortunately not mine so I can't confirm it.
