Note 18 — Chapter VIII · FROM MUSH TO ERZERUM
Reading edition
See Ritter (Erdkunde, vol. x. pp. 390 seq.), and Brant (op. cit. p. 341). Hamilton (Researches in Asia Minor, etc., London, 1842, vol. i. p. 185) throws doubt upon the popular belief that this and similar castles were built by the Genoese; but I know not upon what foundation he may have based his scepticism. ↑
