An earthquake occurred northeast of the city of Adana in the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia (modern day Turkey) on 14 May 1269 at "the first hour of the night".[2] Most sources give a death toll of 8,000 in the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia in southern Asia Minor,[2] but a figure of 60,000 dead was reported by Robert Mallet in 1853 and repeated in many later catalogues.[4][5][6]
