[6] His reference is to a Bozukan (from Pazukan) tradition which mentioned by Mark Sykes in his article "The Kurdish Tribes of Ottoman Empire" (1908).
Sykes writes that "their tradition is that they used to worship a sword thrust in the ground and the moon and the stars, and they lived under the government of a Christian King named Tavit, who dwelt in the castle of Boso".
