Note 15 — Chapter IX · ERZERUM
Reading edition
The Merchant in Persia, who travelled in the early part of the sixteenth century, noticed the emblem of an eagle with two heads and two crowns on the buildings of Diarbekr, once the capital of the Ortukids, and mistook it for the imperial arms. See the translation of his work by Charles Grey (Italian Travels in Persia, Hakluyt Society, London, 1873). ↑
