^{page 121 note 2} Dr. Hamit Koşay, Director of the Ethnographical Museum at Ankara, kindly informs us that the site, also known as Simi Sazli Tepe, is located 500 metres S. of the high road (which skirts the plain on the north), south-east of Cimin. (Dr. von der Osten has drawn our attention to a photograph of the hill in an article by Professor J. Garstang in A.J.A. 1947 (1943) fig. 6, where it is described as the ancient site of Erzincan.) Hamit Bey has also kindly sent us two cuttings with illustrations from the Turkish newspapers, Cümhüriyet of 12th April, and Ulus of 15th April, 1938, describing the find. These reports add that these objects were found in one of six small chambers belonging to an ancient building on the east side of the hill four metres below the surface. The illustrations show the shield reposing on the cauldron, top uppermost, as a lid. The capacity of the cauldron is estimated at 300 litres.

^{page 121 note 3} Von der Osten has been kind enough to inform us that, in addition to the pieces listed here, there were also found twenty silver bars, some inscribed with cuneiform signs, which were unfortunately stolen before the Department of Antiquities was able to take charge. The newspapers mentioned describe the bars as thick pipes, weighing in all fifteen kilos, and of “84 carat” quality, and state that they were found not at Altin Tepe but in excavations on another hill nearby two days later.
