The 114th flag mentioned and illustrated in the Book of All Kingdoms is attributed to Siluana (a.k.a. Septen Castra and Horgimil; cp. Siebenbürgen and Ardeal), which is identified as Transylvania. The anonymous author of Book of All Kingdoms describes the flag thus: "E el rey dende ha por señales un pendón con un alfanje bermejo." ("The king has for a device a green flag with a red scimitar" as translated in [f0f12].) According to [f0f12] (#93 on plate 20 between p.60-61), the manuscript "S" [f0fXXs] shows this flag..
