[Footnote 22: The sack of Azoph is described by Sherefeddin,
(l. iii. c. 55,) and much more particularly by the author of
an Italian chronicle, (Andreas de Redusiis de Quero, in
Chron. Tarvisiano, in Muratori, Script. Rerum Italicarum,
tom. xix. p. 802 - 805.) He had conversed with the Mianis,
two Venetian brothers, one of whom had been sent a deputy to
the camp of Timour, and the other had lost at Azoph three
sons and 12,000 ducats.]
