Here is the piece in two versions:
The first is transposed from: Judetz,Eugenia Popescu, Prince Dimitrie Cantemir, Theorist and Composer of Turkish Music, (Istanbul, Pan
Yayincilik, 1999), p. 137-138.

The second is the Bezmara arrangement:

Made a couple of corrections.

By the way, the Owen Wright transcription of this piece is unusual.
Some of the repeats are in odd places and he wrote it in 16/16.
Quite awkward to read for players, hence preferring the Popescu Judetz version.
I was starting to rewrite it in 16/8 then realised that Popescu Judetz' transcription was in 16/8, and that the repeats made more sense.
He also wrote that Popescu Judetz wrote the piece in 16/4 where is is in 16/8.
Wright, Owen, Demetrius Cantemir: The Collection of Notations, Part 1, Text, (London, School of Oriental and African and Studies, 1992), p.
696-697.
Aside from this piece, the other Wright transcriptions, and all of his work is exceptional and highly valuable.

Hey
.
This is the Cantemir original (transposed from Popescu Judetz):

This is the Bezmara arrangement from the video:

(I made a couple of corrections, I think all is fixed now).
It is interesting to compare the two, Bezmara, with their version, have tried to make the piece more coherent and shorter.
Bezmara have lowered the awj pitch to ajam (or tik ajam) and have changed / not played some of the repeats.
The Cantemir original employs the old tuning of the hijaz/uzzal jins with the neutral second and the major third (like Persian music).
In this piece: huseyni (a), awj (bd), shanaz (c#) and muhayyer (d).
