This building was originally the tomb of Khwaja Mortenepus, an Armenian merchant, whose remains rest in the right hand vault near those of the Armenian Bishop, Zakur of Tabriz (1015 A.D.) and four other Armenian priests. The inscriptions on the floor slabs, fast disappearing owing to age and weather, are herewith (i.e. on the plaque on the wall) recorded so that they may not be lost to memory.
