Abstract
First attested among the administrative titles used in the Turk Qaghanate, the Old Turkic title Buyruq was used by various Eurasian steppe peoples and polities from the 6(th) to the 13(th) centuries. In this paper, examples of the title Buyruq seen in historical sources are identified and examined, while different views put forth by modern scholars up to the present day are also brought together. Apparently, instead of indicating a fixed ministerial office or a commandership, this title, generally understood as meaning 'having received an order', indicates a position for dignitaries that was bestowed by rulers upon officials who were holding numerous administrative titles and were also tasked with certain duties by their rulers.
