Zeyrek Tarihine Dair Derkenar

Benim Vezîrim [Bi‑hikmeti'l‑lâhi] te‘âlâ vukû‘ olan harîkde Sultân Mehmed Fâtih‑i Kostantıniyye Câmî‘‑i Şerîfi'nin minâre külâhı muhterikdir. Sadr‑ı a‘zam nezâretinde kezâ Şehzâde Câmi‘i minârelerin[nin] külâhları muhterikdir. Câmi‘lerde hasâretleri var mıdır? Lâleli dahi ma‘lûmdur. Zeyrek Câmi‘i, Kalenderhâne Câmi‘i Harameyn'dir. Gül Câmi‘i mechûldür. Hasâret oldu mu? Tarafından cümlesi yoklanub arz oluna. Haremeyn Nezâreti'nde olanlara bir nizâm viririz. Mücerredd hasâretleri ma‘lûm olmak içündür.

By the wisdom of God the Almighty, in the conflagration that has occurred, the conical cap (küllah) of the minaret of the Sultan Mehmed (the Conqueror of Constantinople) Imperial Mosque has been consumed by fire. Likewise, under the supervision of the Grand Vizierate, the minaret caps of the Şehzade Mosque have also burnt down. Is there any further damage to these mosques? The situation regarding the Laleli Mosque is already known. Furthermore, the Zeyrek and Kalenderhane Mosques belong to the Administration of the Holy Cities (Haremeyn). As for the Gül Mosque, its status remains unknown. Has any damage occurred there? Let all these sites be inspected by your office and a formal report be submitted to me. We shall establish a regulation for those under the Administration of the Holy Cities. This inquiry is solely for the purpose of ascertaining the extent of the damages incurred.
