HITTITE CITIES EYUK AND BOGHAZ KEOY. 241 
has made very comprehensive and lengthy studies, and has 
written a considerable amount upon it. I am bound to say, 
however, that there is considerable difference of opinion. 
Professor Sayce agrees, in the main, with a great many of 
Professor Jensen’s statements. On the other hand, Professor 
Hommel, some of whose attempts at decipherment I was reading a 
few days ago, differs from Professor Jensen considerably, and the 
question naturally arises, which of the two is right? That being 
so, I do not see how one can pronounce an opinion as to the family 
to which the language belongs, and for that reason I would, 
myself, rather not say anything about it. 
T am at the disadvantage of not having (I may as well frankly 
say so) studied the Hittite language at all. I find the study 
of Assyrian, with Akkadan and its dialects and possible linguistic 
connections, quite enough, with archeology and other things, 
to fill up all my time.
