Note 207 — Chapter IX · DIYÂRBEKR TO KONIA June 4—July 1
Reading edition
Our itinerary was as follows: Diyârbekr, 7; Shilbeh, 8; Uch Keui, 9.5; Dereh Gechid Chai, a deep valley once noted for brigands, 10.45; Tolek, a village on the opposite side of this valley, 11. Here followed 35 minutes’ halt during which the caravan caught us up and passed us, but we came up with it again before we reached Ḳara Khân Chai, a small river, at 1 o’clock. We got to Tarmûr at 2.45. I give these hours since Kiepert’s map is frequently mistaken as to relative distances.
