Kâmî, named in Prince Ahmed's Amasya circle: the question of his identity with Şeyh Cemâl's nephew Kâmî and the verse preserved in the tezkires.

The Kâmî named by Hüsameddin in the circles of Prince Ahmed and Prince Mustafa, and Kâmî Mehmed Çelebi, Şeyh Cemâl's nephew in the tezkires: identity and the lost Yûsuf u Züleyhâ.

The first couplet of Kâmî's lost mesnevi Yûsuf u Züleyhâ, recorded by Âşık Çelebi: a pen that opens with God's name and writes the heading of love atop every letter.

The supplication opening Kâmî's lost Yûsuf u Züleyhâ: five wishes, each tied to a scene of the Joseph story from the well to the throne, and the variants in Latîfî and Âşık Çelebi.

Latîfî's quotation from Kâmî's lost Yûsuf u Züleyhâ describing Zuleikha: hair black as unbelief, crescent brows, an elif for a nose and a moon wearing a black shawl for her.

Latîfî's quotation from Kâmî's lost Yûsuf u Züleyhâ describing horses that roll up the road like a scroll, swim like birds, run like gazelles and break a bird's wing.

The camels of Kâmî's lost Yûsuf u Züleyhâ: humps like mountains, pillarless bodies hauling Mount Bîsütun and a nature likened to the contented and the generous.

A couplet in mesnevi form quoted by Âşık Çelebi from Kâmî: reason, whose word fails in the court of love, is likened to a dismissed judge, the poet's own profession.

A couplet in mesnevi form quoted by Âşık Çelebi from Kâmî: the pen, unable to write the secret of grief, is likened to a narrow gutter into which no ocean can fit.

Kâmî's three-couplet ghazal quoted by Latîfî: Joseph's beauty on the beloved's face, Jacob's suffering recited of the poet, and a sun rising from a sea of tears.

An opening couplet three tezkires assign to Kâmî, Şeyh Cemâl's nephew: though nothing equals the lofty cypress, true beauty is the one who rests on the arm like a falcon.

A ghazal fragment four tezkires assign to Kâmî: the nightingale that cannot make the rose listen, no one left to hear love's epic, and an ear that rings when the beloved recalls him.

An opening couplet on contentment that Sehî assigns to Kâmî of Karaman and Âşık Çelebi and Beyânî to Kâmî Efendi of Edirne: shun silver and take no one's tears as the oyster does.
