Transcriber's note:
Page numbers in this book are indicated by numbers enclosed in curly braces, e.g. {99}. They have been located where page breaks occurred in the original book. For its Scripture Index and its General Index, a page number has been placed only at the start of those sections.
Footnotes have been renumbered sequentially and moved to the
end of their respective chapters. The book's Index has a
number of references to footnotes, e.g. the "96 n." entry under
"Assyrians." In such cases, check the referenced page to see
which footnote(s) are relevant.
The Greek words in this e-book have been transliterated according to Project Gutenberg's Greek How-To. Such words are indicated with surrounding underscores. Underscores are also used to indicate italicization of words, but in this e-book such words are always English words.
