Summary/Abstract: In this paper an Old Uighur fragment is published that sheds some light on a reconstruction work of Bešbalık (Chinese Beiting), the former capital of the West Uighur Kingdom. Beside Bešbalık the city of Solmı (Agni / Karašahr) is mentioned as well as the enigmatic term ordo uluš which probably is a designation of a “residence”.
