THE END
1 So called by the local Turks; Persian: sinjid; a relation of the English service tree.
1 It was removed to Leningrad for the Persian Exhibition in 1935, and will probably remain there.
1 The same name is found in Aramaic and Armenian, and is recorded by the Chinese as nai-ki; see Sino-Iranica, by Berthold Lanfer (Chicago, 1919), p. 427.
1 Gerald Reitlinger in his Tower of Skulls, p. 99, notes another sculpture of this type on the main face of the bulge beside the Sasanian king’s feet, where a “king in a kind of tight-fitting dressing gown sits on a throne formed of a folded snake”.
1 Erymurus luteus.
1 The oleaster.
