When these things had been done in this way, they travelled with those appointed to this task to the place where the Khagan was, on a mountain called Ektag, or ‘Golden Mountain’ in Greek. When Zemarchus and his companions reached the place where Sizabul was presently staying – in a valley of the so-called ‘Golden Mountain’ – having arrived there, they were summoned and immediately came into Sizabul’s presence. |
