a. We sometimes meet with the words Réssiyeh and Mosgkou together, in some of the 
Eastern authors; by the former we should ‘understand rather Slavonia, and- by the latter the 
Russia of later centuries: The word Mosgkou, the name of the great capital of the country, has for

gkarnain to be à different personage from Alexander the Great, whom they endeavour to dis- 
tinguish by the surname of Pheelipäs, intimating the son of Philip; whilst others suppose them 
to be one and the same person. Though the first x - indeed may be correct with regard to 
the epithet Jess , yet the identity of the names ?, and some other circumstances, have given
