Tower of the Persians; ܦܘܪܟܣܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܕܦܪ̈ܣܝܐ; the great tower which was called that of the Persians
A tower in the city of Edessa.
The 'tower of the Persians', from which Abgar examined the floods for the second time, must have been near the palace or even inside the palace. Possibly it was on the site of the tower that still stands, south of Birket Ibrahim.
