ments that, "hTe Ark rested upon the
mountains of Arafat" Another allu-
sion Is to the sons of Sennecharib, who
are said to have escaped into the land
of Armenia 6Sl b. c. The prophet Ezekiel
refers to Armenia under the name OF

furnishing Tyre with horses and mules.

prophecy against Babylon. Heroditus

ten thousand through this mountainous
region throws light upon the ancient
Armenians. whose domestic habits and
employments are the same In many re-
spects even at the present day.
Tacitus, the Roman historian of the first
century, who wrote of the Christian re-
ligon as a Contemplate superstition"

always at war with Rome and the Par.

ton of being the first race who accepted
