A fragment in Turkic runic script from Toyok
There existe a fragmentary text concerning the terrestrial properties and patronages of the planets, found in Toyok (Turfan), from the ninth century. It describes the colour of stones corresponding to the planets, and the coulour of the “water” of these stones. The order of the planets is not the order in the “Chaldaean” model, but that of the planetary week. However, two planetary bodies, Sun and Mars, are lacking.
