1. Mar Elias, A Nestorian Bishop

Notes:
P. 235 "During the services at Geog-tapá, Mar Elias, the aged bishop resident in that village, came in. He saluted us in English, shaking hands with us-which orientals never do among themselves-and repeating to each of us, good morning." The bishop is wearing the full khilauts (Shoberl 1845, p. 47), his gray robe trimmed in teal bands, his green tunic is decorated with buttons at the neck opening. His turban is large and made of patterned fabrics. He wears the full beard and mustache typical to men of this region.
