[Footnote 37: This number of 800,000 was extracted by
Arabshah, or rather by Ebn Schounah, ex rationario Timuri,
on the faith of a Carizmian officer, (tom. i. c. 68, p.
617;) and it is remarkable enough, that a Greek historian
(Phranza, l. i. c. 29) adds no more than 20,000 men.
Poggius reckons 1,000,000; another Latin contemporary
(Chron. Tarvisianum, apud Muratori, tom. xix. p. 800)
1,100,000; and the enormous sum of 1,600,000 is attested by
a German soldier, who was present at the battle of Angora,
(Leunclay. ad Chalcondyl. l. iii. p. 82.) Timour, in his
Institutions, has not deigned to calculate his troops, his
subjects, or his revenues.]
