The 14th flag mentioned and illustrated in the Book of All
Kingdoms [e9s50] is attributed to
city called "Leon/Lumbret", between Germany and the
Black Sea, which Jorge Candeias has tentatively identified as
Lvov.
It is a green flag with ared cross throughout,

The 1917 flag issue of National Geographic [gmc17] explicitly identifies it as
the city of Lemberg, the 1917 iteration of Lvov [page 389].
