[Vol. V. 



No monument so far discovered contains these names, but, when the 

 Turk is out of the way and a strong government keeps the Bedouin in 

 check, valuable relics of ancient Celtic life may be looked for in the 

 excavation of Kerak and neighbouring sites in the historic land of Moab, 

 which witnessed the slaughter in cold blood of a hundred thousand 

 Gaelic mothers and their male children at the command of Israel's great 

 law-giver, Moses. In the battle which preceded that massacre, five kings 

 of Midian were slain, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba. This terrible 

 defeat and massacre put an end to the Golden Age of the Celt, and his 

 subsequent overthrow by Gideon, two centuries later, effectually checked 

 his career of conquest. 



The subjoined genealogical table gives the names of the great leaders 

 of the ancient Celts, in the Cymric and Nemedian lines, in capitals, the 

 half-castes in ordinary text, and their purely Hittite ancestors in italics :

It is evident that the generations were of very unequal length, since 

 Thi, who is in the .seventh Mitannian, va^s the grandmother of Akh, who 

 married Tarkhundara in the fifth Zimrite or Sumerian proper. A re- 

 conciliation may be found in the long reign of Urhammu, and in the
