"Tuhfet'ul Ussak-A Present for Children" a Tanzimat era book by Fevzi(*) teaches Greek vocabulary in a poetic form to the Turks:
Nam-i Hudadır Teos, ademe de antropos
Dervise der asketis, evliya adı ayos
(The name of The God is Theos, and man is antropos
Dervish is askhetis, and evliya is agios)
(*)Fevzi, Tuhfet’ul Ussak, from LEVEND, Agâh Sırrı (1943), Divan Edebiyati, Istanbul, p. 637.
