[28] _Loc. cit._, Strabo (XII. iii. 9) speaks of ‘the “Leuco-Syrians”
whom we call Cappadocians.’ See also p. 92; and Ramsay, _Historical
Geography_, pp. 32, 33.

walls, while its land remained unfertile and uncultivated.
[32] See Pl. IX.
[33] See Pl. LXXXVI.
[34] Professor Ramsay (_Historical Geography_, p. 35) already argued the
necessary antiquity of such a route before the Hittite monument on the
mountain pass was brought to light.

[45] We noticed in passing an aged pair working together in their small
garden of vegetables. It was summer-time, and their sleeping-place was a
bower of branches and twigs covered entirely with pink roses.
[46] To be distinguished from the Bogche, which gives its name to the
pass over the Giaour Dagh (p. 14).
