Scythia ((J^<-/3^u/ in Armenian) is called Apachtaria (\^"t t »[">» u 'rf) 

 Bactria or Thurchia, extending from the river Ethil (Volga) to the 

 Emavon (frivol/) or Hemalaya mountains (uA^ Z^f, jp,^L j-gf&m) even 

 unto Zenia (China.) Emavon (friTuu.o'T/) is the loftiest and longest of all 

 mountains. Scythia is inhabited by forty-four nations, among them 

 the Sogii (l>?-^) Thookharii ((dun-/^^) Hepthalii fetyPvip) and 

 several other barbarous races and tribes. The Sogii are famous for 

 their wealth and love of commerce, and inhabit the country lying be- 

 tween Thurcastania (frnt-ppuutn.Jb) and Aria (wpk-ug u^u^s, .) The 

 Sogii are perhaps the Sakce. 



From the Venice edition of 1843. 



Persia is called by Moses Khorenensis, Chusti-Nemrozia, touching 

 the eastern border of Khuzastan and the confines of Media, containing 

 twenty provinces.
