Önce kaynak: İsmail Aka, Timur ve Devleti (Ankara: TTK: 1991), 16-17. (Bana kolaylık olması hasebiyle İngilizce klavye ile yazıyorum.) "Subat ayi sonunda hareket eden ordu Yesi, Karacuk ve Savran uzerinden bozkira girmisti. Bozkir gecilince birkac gun dinlendikten sonra Uludag'a vardiklarinda, Timur dagin tepesine cikarak, askerlerin tas toplayip getirmelerini ve bu seferin hatirasi olmak uzere bir kitabe dikilmesini buyurdu.
