In
Chronicon Ad Annum 1234
there is a report of an earthquake that destroyed
Marash, where
its houses were destroyed, its whole wall collapsed
, and
24,000
died besides strangers
along with
more than a hundred priests and deacons
.
The *Chronicon* also records that
the castle of
Mansur and many other places
were wiped out
. A later passage appears to suggest that a
prison in
Samosata collapsed during the
same earthquake.
The Seleucid Era years supplied in the two separate passages do
not agree, and both appear to be incorrect. However, the earlier
passage specifies both a date (29 November) and a day of the week
(Sunday), leading to the conclusion that the earthquake struck on
the night of Sunday, 29 November 1114 CE, in agreement with many
other authors.
