Note 317 — APPENDIX. ON THE INSCRIPTIONS FOUND AT HISSARLIK. By The Editor.

Genesis x. 4, 5. The essential letters of the Hebrew name [Illusration: Hebrew] are identical with the Greek ΙΩΝ (Ion), and both are equivalent to the Yavanas, the “younger race” of the old Aryan traditions, who migrated to the West, while the elder branch remained in the East. On the whole subject the Editor may be permitted to refer to the Student’s Ancient History of the East, especially to Chapter XX., on the Nations of Asia Minor, which contains a discussion of the Hellenic affinities of the Phrygians and Trojans in particular.
