Mar Yohannon, a Bishop of Oróomiah

Notes:

P. 172 "Gavalân, the village where we intended to stop, is the residence of Mar Yohannan, a bishop from whom Messrs. Smith and Dwight derived much of their information respecting the Nestorians, and from whom they purchased a manuscript copy of a part of the Bible in Syriac." The bishop is wearing a large, elaborate turban of a highly decorated fabric and trimmed with a tassel; a plain tunic with a girdle; and a caba (Shoberl 1845, p. 34) or aba (Vogelsang-Eastwood p. 10) of solid colored fabric.
