The famous middle Byzantine alchemical manuscript Marcianus graecus 299 contains annotations from the late Byzantine period, most prominently in its opening quire. This article examines a text on the very first page of the manuscript, a text written in a late Byzantine Greek script, but in a language other than Greek. A number of words in this undeciphered text can be correlated with Arabic technical vocabulary that would also have been used in other Islamicate languages such as Persian and Ottoman Turkish. Certain features such as accentuation on the final syllables of words make Turkish or Persian the most likely candidates.

Marcianus graecus 299 第一页的希腊字母中的伊斯兰炼金术

著名的中间拜占庭炼金术手稿 Marcianus graecus 299 包含拜占庭晚期的注释，最突出的是它的开篇。本文研究了手稿第一页上的一段文字，该文字以晚期拜占庭希腊文字书写，但使用的不是希腊语。这段未破译文本中的许多单词可以与阿拉伯语技术词汇相关联，这些词汇也将用于其他伊斯兰语言，如波斯语和奥斯曼土耳其语。某些特征，例如单词最后音节的重读，使土耳其语或波斯语成为最有可能的候选者。
