Travels to Tana and Persia

ERRATA AND NOTES.

Eugene Armand Roy translation

Page 5, Note, for “taneel”, read “tawil”, long. Uzun means long in Turkish, and Zeno is right in giving it the secondary sense of great; the Turks claim Artaxerxes Longimanus to have been of Turkish race, because with them long arms are esteemed a sign of power and greatness.

Page 8, for “Ikindjis”, read “Akinjys”.

Page 24, “ne dentider”, probably “neh deria-dir”, what a sea it is, Turkish, not Persian.

Page 70, “Occota Can”, probably “Oktai Khan”.

Page 79, Note, for “Quzbvassi”, read “Kas-ovahsy”.

Page 81, “Arphaemiler”, Arpa-eminy, master of the barley.

Page 136, “bosdocan”, buzdugan, a mace, a word nearly obsolete in Constantinople; it is preserved in Wallachia.

Page 143. These columns are still standing, and have some inscriptions, apparently Phœnician, upon them.

Page 207. Sheibani Khan; for an account of his life and death, see M. Vambery’s History of Bokhara.
