CHAPTER VI.

On the expenses which usually attend the transport of merchandize from Ajazzo of Erminia to Torissi, by land.

In the first place from AlAZZO as far as COLIDARA,1 i.e., as far as the King of Armenia's territory extends, you pay altogether 41 taccolini and 34 deniers (at the rate of 10 deniers to the taccolino) on every load, whether of camels or of other beasts. Now taking the taccolino to be about an asper, the amount will be about 41 aspers of Tauris per load. And 6 aspers of Tauris are equal to one Tauris bezant.

At GANDON, where you enter upon the lands of Bonsaet,

' Respecting Aiazzo see note, p. 278 supra. Colidara should perhaps be Gobidar, the name of an Armenian fortress and barony in Taurus, which is mentioned in Journ. As., ser. v, vol. xviii, 314.

2 Bonsaet is Abu Said Bahadar Khan, the last effective sovereign of the Mongol dynasty in Persia, who died 1335. He is called Busaid by some Arabic writers, and on some Mongol coins. The Pope in addressing him calls him Bo yssethan, i.e. Busaid Khan .(D' Ohsson, iv, 716 ; Mosheim, 144).

8 Gavazera del Ammiraglio, I suppose Sarwccnsarai-ul-Amir. The same word is used at each place rendered caravanserai.
