- P. 262 "Priest Zadoc, a brother of Mar Shimon, the Nestorian Patriarch, is with us on a visit. He is rather intelligent for a rude mountaineer, quite shrewd, very tall, and a remarkably fine-looking man." Priest Zadoc is wearing straight trousers similar to zir-e jumah (Vogelsang-Eeastwood, p. 8), a turban that appears to be either tighter wound or using less fabric than that of Mar Elias, a tunic, a type of waistcoat called a jeliqa (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 9), and a belt. He carries a walking stick and does not carry any weapons. Like the other men depicted in this book he has a full beard and mustache.

- Notes:
- P. 23 "...he is from the Cadjars tribe." P. 27 "His face seemed exceedingly pale, of a polished marble hue, with the finest contour of features, and eyes dark, brilliant and piercing, a beard black as jet, and of a length which fell below his chest over a large portion of the effulgent belt which held his diamond-hilted dagger. This extraordinary amplitude of beard appears to have been a badge of Persian royalty from the earliest times; for we find it attached to the heads of the sovereigns, in all the ancient sculptured remains throughout the empire." The king wears a full, long coat, a kolija (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 10).
