1,000 Tillages, while at the end of the 13th century, the figure had declined by 331 to 677 Tillages. According to Samuel of Anl and Matthew of Edeaaa, the former Arcrunid kingdom in Taspurakan had over 4,000 Tillages, but 13th and 14th century authors speak of that area with distress, as if describing a desert . Furthermore, in the 1550 's the trade routes shifted away from the northern cities of Anl and Sara, to southern cities of Xlat', MayyafariklnAP 'rkert, and ArSei, helping to 2 impoverish northeastern Armenia . Not surprisingly, it is precisely from the mid-l4th century that the great naxarar families of northeastern Armenia quickly fade from the sources, literary and inscriptional. Influential Zak'arids, 7a(uteans and ProScans (known as such, and not by a different surname) are unknown after 1360, and noteworthy Orbeleans and Dop'eans are mentioned last at the end of the 14th century . An important aspect of the Turkmens1 triumph concerns the settlement of Turco-Mongol populations across the Armenian highlands. Regrettably, the sources do not contain much information on this question. The sources mention Mongols established in the area between HAP p. 661. Manandyan, Trade, pp. 197-200. HAP pp. 642-44. R. Hewsen's articles("The Meliks" in BjJAJhave demonstrated the probable survival of "noble" statue within melik families descended from the naxarara 218
Bayburt and Sebastia/SivasJ Qara-Qoyunlu Turkmen in the Lake Van basin; Aq-Qoyunlu Turkmen in tbe Amida-Diyarbakr area , Presumably some of those areas of southern and western Armenia which the nomada used for their yaylaa eventually were transformed into sedentary communities. In the 1403-1406 period, Clavijo encountered but two yaylaa. one near BekariS and the other in Ernjfak, though clearly there must have been o more . Johan Schiltberger speaks of Turkmans in the Samaun area, renting pasturage3. With time, more and more Turkmena began settling in or near cities. Clavijo observed that both Erzicjan and Ani—two traditionally Armenian cities—had Turkmen governors, and that BekariS had an Armenian and a Turkish suburb . 1 Episodes p. 86. 2 Clav. pp. 138, 148. 3 JS p. 14. 4 Clav. pp. 138-39, 333. 219
