2IO TRANSACTIONS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. [VOL. V. 



of Siounia, relates that there came to Georgia from China a noble family 

 called by him Ouhrbelean, to which he belonged. These Orpelians 

 were Huns, and their supposed mythic ancestor is the Olbale or 

 Odelbale of the Denes, a winged deity like the eagle headed men of the 

 Assyrian sculptures. His original was Amraphel, king of Shinar, the 

 contemporary of Abraham ; and his Shinar or Shingar gave name 

 to Sangura of the Assyrians, the Sangarius of the Trojans, Sangala 

 of India where dwelt the Cathaei, and the Sunggari-ula of the 

 Mantchus. 



The genealogy of the Tungus family is given, in a scattered form, in 

 the genealogies of first Chronicles, and is as follows : 



Tsochar. 



J 

 Shingar. 



Amr phel. 



Machpelah. 



Ephron. 



I 

 Yephunneh. 



i 

 Caleb. 



I 

 Nahain. 



Kegilah. Eshtemoag. 



! I 



Garmi. Maachathi. 



Zohar or Tsochar gave the ancestral name Teucer, Tokari, Zagros, 

 Tuchara, Tochari, Taxila, Tsekelne, and was Tigil, the god of the 

 Kamtchadales. In Shingar we find Sangura, Sangarius, Sangala, and 

 Sungaria. Amraphel furnishes Orbelus, the Orpelian name, Arbela, 

 and Olbale. Machpelah is the original of the Davenport Maka-Wala 

 and of the early Mexican hero, Mixcohuatl or Mixco-watl. Ephron 

 gives name to Apolloniatis at the Zagros mountains, to Strabo's Aparni, 

 and to the Faraons of Mexico. Yephunneh's name is the root of 

 Yavana, Evenki, Hun, Japan, and Henagi. Caleb probably survives in 

 Arivaipa and similar terms. But Naham was the ancestor of the 

 Biblical Naamathites, of the African Nasamones, as well as of the 

 Tungus Neyen, and the Dene Nehane. He was very likely the 

 ancestral dog of the Den6s, for in Tungus a dog is ninakin. After him 

 the family divided into at least two branches. The elder in Kegilah 

 gives the division of the Hans or Huns who peopled Corea, called 

 Kaoli and Kaokiuli. From his son Garmi came the name Ghirin, and
