Abstract
The Tuñuquq inscriptions are an invaluable treasure in literary and historical terms. The inscriptions were discovered in 1897 by Y. N. Klements. Two years after this discovery, Radloff (1899) published the first scholarly edition of the inscriptions. They were read again and interpreted by many philologists after the first edition. The sentence in the thirteenth line of the inscriptions are problematic in terms of meaning and reading. Although various interpretations have been made about the sentence so far, a certain solution has not been found yet. The article will propose a new reading and interpretation of the sentence.
