Note 432 — Chapter III
Walter Armstrong translation
See above, pp. 158-9 and fig. 49. The details that here follow are borrowed from the narrations of those who have explored the sepulchral mounds of lower Chaldæa. Perhaps the most important of these relations is that of Mr. J. E. Taylor, to which we have already referred so often (Notes on the Ruins of Mugheir, to which may be added his Notes on Abou-Sharein and Tell-el-Lahm, p. 413, in the same volume of the Journal). Cf. Loftus's eighteenth chapter (Travels, &c. p. 198) and the pages in Layard's Discoveries, from 556 to 561.
