(Turkistān) was already well established in Mussulman countries (cf. Géogr. d'Aboulfeda, II, II,
212), and, in 1307, Hethum made it known to the West as « Turquesten » (Hist. des Crois., Arm.,
II, 123, 214, 263, 335). Maundeville borrowed it from Hethum (cf. HALLBERG, 298; but HALLBERG
has forgotten to insert notices on « Turchie » or on « Turquesten »). The Nestorians had a metro-
politan see of Turkistān distinct from that of Samarkand (cf. the list in Mo, 21).

Benedict the Pole and Polo find nevertheless an unexpected confirmation in the Chinese map
of ca. 1330, and in the corresponding list of YS, 63, 15 b : there the first name of the constituent
territories of the Čayatai empire is 塗魯吉 T'u-lu-chi, Turkī, as a tribal name, an equivalent of
Turquie (cf. Br, II, 49-50).

In c. 36, in the story of Negodar, R (Bk I, c. 14) omits the « Greater Armenia » of F, etc., and
in an earlier sentence says that Čayatai was ruler of « la Turchia maggiore » (R here follows the form
of VB which, in place of signoreggiana la Turchia maggiore, reads signor duna notabel provinzia),
so possibly correcting what is really an error in the other texts (see « Caraunas », and Vol. I, 121).
On the other hand F, FG may suggest that Negodar took advantage of Čayatai's absence in Greater
Armenia on some expedition.

372. TYFLIS

tiflis R tyflis Z

Tiflis had been mentioned before Polo by Simon de Saint-Quentin as « Triphelis » (cf. Vincent
de Beauvais, XXXI, 95; XXXII, 42, 50), and by Rubrouck as « Tefilis » (Wy, I, 319, 324, 326). Fra
Mauro writes « Tisfilis »; Schiltberger, « Tiffliss » (HALLBERG, 536-537). Other forms, « Thefelisium »,
« Triflisium », occur in the 14th cent.; cf. GOLUBOVICH, Bibl. bio-bibl., II, 265, 569. The name of
Tiflis is Georgian Thbilisi, derived from thbili, « warm » (cf. BROSSET, Hist. de la Géorgie, I, I,
16, n. 3).
