Note 2 — Chapter XIX · ASCENT OF SIPAN
Reading edition
The best account of Adeljivas is that of Tozer (Turkish Armenia, London, 1881, p. 335). The width of the enclosure is given by him as 250 yards, on the side of the shore. The parallel lines of walls descend into the water. Within the enclosure “one ancient mosque with a minaret remains, and also part of another considerable building. The mosque, which is now used as a storehouse for corn, appears to be of the same date as those in the castle of Akhlat; it is massively built of stone, with but little ornament, and its arches are pointed and slightly ogived.” Müller-Simonis has a nice woodcut (Du Caucase au Golfe Persique, Paris, 1892, p. 301). ↑
