1213-01-18-Agara	18 January 1213 JL	Death of Queen Tamar of Georgia by an unknown disease, maybe Leprosy, in the town of Agara		Tamar stopped in Nach’armagevi, a place located high in the mountains. And all the didebulis and nobles were there with her. she took care of the state’s affairs and particularly those related to the churches and monasteries. And while she was there, she caught a disease, one that eats away at us people; it progressed day after day, becoming more and more severe. she hid it for a long time, so as not to worry anybody. But when the illness resisted treatment, with no benefit from medicine, the Queen revealed she had it. This disease of Tamar was probably inevitable; such long-lasting military burdens prey upon the natural weakness of women, and Tamar’s body could not live and remain protected from all kinds of accidents. But see, the people, who were devoted to her deserve much pity: how could they deal with such a disease? They took her in a palanquin to Tbilisi, and a few days later they decided, as they were wont to do, to climb into the woody mountains. They were in a hurry, and took Tamar there, still, in the palanquin. But her merciless disease took on yet graver form. They brought her to the fortress of Agari. And all the searches for a medical cure turned out to be vain. [...] on the eighteenth of January, Tamar fall asleep with the sleep of a righteous one; and the sun went out of Georgia, and only the urge to glorify her grave, gave sense to the earthly life among all us Christians	Georgian Chronicles 2014, pp. 302-303	Translation needed
