Note 913 — VI THE STORY OF THE HITTITES

Ed. Meyer, Gesch. des Alterthums, i. p. 331. See, however, Schrader, Bab.-Ass. Gesch., pp. 162-3, who identifies the ‘Upper Sea’ of the text (published by Winckler, Inschriften Tigl.-Pilesers I.) with Lake Van; he is supported by Sayce and others. Ménant thought that the Caspian was referred to, and Rawlinson the Mediterranean, but neither of the latter theories agrees with the geography of the expedition, on which see Maspero, Struggle of the Nations, pp. 653-4.
