Selim entered Tebriz on September 8 and left the city on September 15. This makes eight days. See
HYDR, pp. 80-81. HS also reports Selim’s stay in Tebriz as eight days. See HS, p. 606. Also consider AA,
p. 71. According to AA, Selim quitted Tebriz in a short time because of his fear about the qizilbash
fighters, whose fighting qualities, along with the impetuosity and personal bravery of the Shah, were
already experienced by the Sultan.
