Note 16 — EVENTS of the Year 1014, II.

There is something irrelevant in this. Botchkai is represented as having been raised to the sovereignty of Hungary, and not of Transylvania. The first of these is written مجار Majar, which is Hungary; and the second اردل Ardil, which is Transylvania, and which is said in the text to have been supplied with a new sovereign in room of Botchkai, who was created king of Majar or Hungary by the Ottoman emperor. But it seems not unlikely that by Majar, lower Hungary is meant, and of which Ardil or Transylvania was considered a portion. We find the word هونغاريا Hungaria employed, a few sentences afterwards, to mean the country of which the emperor of Austria’s brother was duke.
