Ouëls ie. mountainous country. Ît is a name by which are at once denoted all those 
countries lying between the rocks, mountains and vallies, approaching the Caspian Sea as also 
between the Zerek and the frontiers of Georgia and 4derbijan. The Arabs called all these by 
pe nan Jai or Jul , the mountains, and more definitely al Je the mountains of Caucas. 
(see our appendix for this expression). Afterwards all these countries became known under two 
general names: Shirwan formed the southern and eastern parts, lying towards the frontier of 
Georgia and Aderbijàn; and Däghistän, the western and northern parts. During the last centu- 
ries both of these principalities, were subdivided into various Khandoms, which were ruled 
by different princes and Khans, tributary to Persia or to Turkey. The Däghistän of the present 
day, consists of all the eastern ridges of the Caucasus, running towards the Caspian Sea, includ- 
ing a part of the principal chain and of the plains near the sea. It is divided into four prin- 
cipal parts: the dominion of Shemkhall, on the southwest of which is that of Gkara- Ghaitaghs, 
on the south of this Zabasaran and to the west of Tabasaran the province of Derbend. It is 
bounded on the east by the Caspian Sea; on the west by the principalities of :fwar and Gkazi- 
Gkoumügh &c.; on the north by the river Gkoi-sou, and on the south by the river Semour.

Byzantia, distinguishing each of them by some addition. The expression sS) des J indicates 
the western Roman Empire, and Q gel] ânes y the eastern or Byzantine. Here the author means 
the Empire of Justinian (consult D'Herb. under Roman).

It must be the ancient city of Shabran after which name the whole district is called and 
which, to this day, forms a considerable portion of the province of (as) Gkubbeh, including, 
according to the last revision, 81 villages. There are some coins of Zoghtamish-khan stamped 
in Shabran about 1388 AD. (see Recensio Numorum Muhammedanorum, by Ch. M. Fraebhn, 
St. Pétersburg 1826. p. 338.) — In the St. Petersburg and Berlin MSS. it is simply said, the 
town of Shabrân. ;
