leaving aside the words, which I am not qualified to comment upon, were modern European-style Arabic numerals in common usage in 15th century Turkish?
Because they don't seem to be used in the classical Ottoman script, which is Arabic based.

I would question this interpretation also. Not only the use of Arabic numerals in 15th C. Turkish texts, but also the use of Arabic numerals in the VMs vords. Is this the only example of a numeral "2" in the VMs? And what about any of the other numerals "3", "4", "5", etc.?

Edit: Examples used in vords, not in page numbers.
