1836

At the request of the prophet the king SOBIIANA sent from the continent of India a branch of the lidambara tree accompanied by many priests and priestesses: the whole were received with due honor and the Udatbara tree planted by the king SAMURDHA became the emblem of the new Buddha. [...] GREGORY was informed by some of the princes of the existence of two idolatrous temples in the province of Tarot' the inhabitants of which offered sacrifices to the devil. [...] Having ascertained from the prince of Hashtens that on the following day the great images of KEisnsmy and DEMETR were to be levelled to the ground they repaired to the temples in the dead of the night and removed from thence all the treasure into subterraneous places. [...] GREGORY accompanied by the prince of Arzruniesf the prince of Anzevazies and the prince of the house of Angl: and followed by a small number of troops amounting to about three hundred ascended the mountain in the third§ hour of the day where ARZAN lay in abush. [...] ' Nov ' said he let vultures behold you and know that the eagle has killed the hare.' Immediately after this the prince of the Seunies returned to the army; and the place where the prince of JIashtens fell is to this day called by the appellation of the Eagles.
