A 518-year-old copper inscription preserved at a college museum here was deciphered for the first time recently and found to provide information about a fight between two men during the Bahmani era.

Dated 1507, the copper plate was found in the museum of Rajarshi Shahu College, Latur, said researcher Krishna Gudade.

It records the account of a violent clash between 'Savaru' and 'Vithoba Khandagale (Jadhav)' near Dudhal Lake, close to the Chandpir Dargah in today's Khadgaon village, on the outskirts of Latur city.
