The object of the present article is a stone rubbing preserved by the Academia Sinica in Taiwan. It will be posited that the inscription was made during the Qing period, using Uighur-Mongolian script with Manchu-style diacritics and that the site of the original matrix remains unclear. In this article, the text is firstly reproduced, both according to Möllendorff's romanisation and in the corresponding Classical Mongolian transliteration. Noteworthy differences between the script used in this inscription and Classical Mongolian are duly analysed. Subsequent paragraphs provide glosses and annotations, as well as discussing the possible origins of the text.
