XXXI.

French.

Aux Champs de _Mede_, d’_Arabe_, & d’_Armenie_, Deux grands Copies trois fois sassembleront, Pres du Rivage d’_Araxes_ la mesgnie, Du grand _Soliman_ en Terre tomberont.

English.

In the fields of _Media_, _Arabia_, and _Armenia_, Two great Armies shall meet thrice, Near the Shore of _Araxes_, the people Of great _Solyman_ shall fall down.

ANNOT.

This signifieth no more, but the loss of three famous Battles on the _Turks_ side, against the _Persians_.

The first that I find after the coming out of these Prophesies, is the Battle of _Sancazan_, seven miles from _Tauris_, and hard by the River _Araxes_, where 20000 _Turks_ were slain, without any considerable loss of the _Persians_; this was in the time of _Amurath_ the III. Emperour of the _Turks_, and son to _Selyman_ the second. The other two Battles I could not make good, because I want the supplement of the _Turkish_ History, as also because they have not yet happened.
