Серия III: Филология73202229-36The article studies the Syro-Turkic manuscript fragment from a Syrian Christian book from Khara-Khoto (the capital of the Tangut kingdom), which is of great scientific interest as a monument of the history of Christianity in Central Asia and the history of the Turkic peoples in the 13th — 14th centuries. The text of the manuscript is written in Syriac script in one of the ancient Turkic dialects, close to the Old Uighur language and dating back to the 13th — 14th centuries. This is the so-called 3rd Syro-Turkic fragment, which was written in the Syriac alphabet among the Turks who adopted Christianity from the Nestorian Syrians in the area of Lake Issyk-Kul (present-day Kyrgyzstan). The text of the manuscript remained unnoticed by turkologists for a long time, and it was not transcribed and translated from Turkic into Russian. This article proposes a transcription of the text of the MS in accordance with norms of Turkic grammar and phonetics and gives a translation of this fragment, using other Christian texts in the Turkic languages written in 8th — 14th centuries. In particular, the article pays attention to the word <i>bitig </i>and providing its more precise equivalent based on sources of the Karachay-Balkarian and Old Uighur languages. The article also clarifies the meanings of other words and restores some parts of the text. The analysis of the Syro-Turkic fragment allows one to conclude that it is a part of a Christian Syriac book written in a Turkic language.
