Note 2 — Chapter XVI · AKHLAT
Reading edition
The credit of whatever information we already possess is due, among modern travellers, almost exclusively to Englishmen. I may cite Brant (Journal R.G.S. 1840, vol. x. pp. 406 seq.), Layard (Discoveries in the Ruins of Nineveh and Babylon, London, 1853, pp. 24 seq.), and Tozer (Turkish Armenia, London, 1881, pp. 315 seq.). The last of these writers does not appear to have read Layard’s account, which would have saved him some lengthy speculations. Ritter (Erdkunde, vol. x. p. 326) may also be consulted. ↑
