The undated Persian inscription written upon the half-rounded lintel of the entrance was hastily cut into the stone and only partially legible, and while the Arabic inscription has been published, it is no longer legible and only faint traces remain.

However, the Armenian inscription found at the eastern interior wall, just past the entrance to the upper right is legible and reads the following:[2] In the name of the Almighty and powerful God, in the year 1332, in the world-rule of Busaid Khan, I Chesar son of Prince of Princes Liparit and my mother Ana, grandson of Ivane, and my brothers, handsome as lions, the princes Burtel, Smbat and Elikom of the Orbelian Dynasty, and my wife Khorishah daughter of Vardan [and ...] of the Senikarimans, built this spiritual house with our own funds for the salvation of our souls and those of our parents and brothers reposing in Christ, and of my living brothers and sons Sargis, Hovhannes the priest, Kurd and Vardan.

Travelers slept in a separate room built at the end of the narrow aisles on the western side of the caravanserai.

As mentioned earlier, these are the only other areas of the caravanserai that have ornamentation besides the decoration found at the entry vestibule.

This identification was disproved by archaeological excavations in 2014, although evidence on this building's actual purpose was inconclusive.
