Joseph Naayem, Shall this Nation die?, Chaldean Rescue, New York, 1920, p296 online version : "The cause of our flight was Agha Petrus who had written to Mar Shimun at Salmas, advising him to commence the attack on the Turks, who had retired on Kara Tepe, and promising that he would reinforce him with 3,500 men. The attack began. Agha Petrus came two days later with only 300 men. Arrived at Salmas from Schakar Yazi, he retook the road to Urmia, whilst Mar Shimun's men advanced steadily."
