To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
2^ Sitacd is the form commonly used by the Greeks (Xen. Anab. ii.
4, § 13 ; ^lian, Bist. An. xvi. 42 ; &c.) ; but Stephen of Byzantium has Psittace. In the cuneiform inscrip- tions the name is read as Patsita, without the Scythic guttural end- ing.
-'' Sittacen^ is made a province of Babylonia by Strabo (xv. 3, § 12).
In Ptolemy it is a province of As- syria {Oeograph. vi. 1).
^^ Abydenus ap. Euseb. Prazp. Ev.
ix. 41.
2^ Damascus, though destroyed by Tiglath-Pileser II., probably soon rose from... its ruins, and again be- came an important city.
Chap. I.
SU SUSA.
291 in Inner Syria ; Tyre, Sidon, Ashdod, Ascalon, and Gaza, upon the coast. Of these, Susa was undoubt- edly the most important : indeed it deserves to be regarded as the second city of the Empire. Here, between the two arms of the Choaspes, on a noble and well-watered plain, backed at the distance of twenty-five miles by a lofty mountain range, the fresh breezes from which tempered the summer heats, was the ancient palace of the Kissian kings, proudly placed upon a lofty platform or mound, and com- manding a wide prospect of the rich pastures at its base, which extended northwards to the roots of the hills, and in every other direction as far as the eye could reach.''^^ Clustered at the foot of the palace mound, more especially on its eastern side, lay the ancient town, the foundation of the traditional Memnon,^ who led an army to the defence of Troy.^ The pure and sparkling water of the Choaspes^ — a drink fit for kings* — flowed near, while around grew palms, konars, and lemon-trees,^ the plain beyond waving with green grass and golden corn.
