- 1246, Letter of Güyük Khan to Pope Innocent IV, lines 8-9:
  و اگر سخن خویش برسید تو کی پاپاء کلان با کرل لان جمله بنفس خویش بخدمت ما بیایید هر فرمان یاساء کی باشد آن وقت بشنوانیم
  wa agar saxun-i xwēš birasīd, tu, ki pāpā-i kalān, bā kiril lān (?), jumla ba xidmat-i mā biyāyēd, har farmān-i yāsā ki bāšad ān waqt bišnuwānēm.
  If you should act up to your word, then you, the great Pope, should come in person with your kings to serve us, and thereupon we instruct you the commands of the Yassa.
