[20] On the question of the racial characteristics of the Greeks of Asia Minor, cf. A. von Luschan, Verhandlungen d. Gesellsch. f. Erdkde. zu Berlin, 15 (1888), S. 47–60; Archiv f. Anthropol., 19 (1889–90), S. 31–53; L’Anthropologie, I., p. 679 ff., II., p. 25 f.
[21] Specimens of the Pontic and Cappadocian dialects of today are to be found in A. Thumb’s Handbuch der neugriechischen Volkssprache, 2 (Strassburg, 1910), S. 294–298. Grothe, in his treatise, Meine Vorderasienexpedition 1906 u. 1907, Bd. II., S. 175, calls attention to the dialect of the Greeks of Farash in the southern Antitaurus.
[22] Exact statistics as to the number of Greeks in Cappadocia are given by R. M. Dawkins, in the Journal of Hellenic Studies, 30 (1910), pp. 109–132, 267–291.

[24] Only the two largest rivers of western Asia Minor, the Mæander and the Sangarios have, in a characteristic manner, kept their old names in the form of Menderes and Sakkaria.
[25] These texts, so interesting for the history of trade, are reproduced by D. Georgiades in La Turquie actuelle, Paris, 1892, pp. 197 ff., 218 ff., 224 ff.
[26] The statistical data are based on Cuinet, La Turquie d’Asie (Paris, 1890–95), II. and III., completed from Baedeker, Constantinopel und Kleinasien, 2 (1914).
[27] In a similar way, in more recent times, the German excavations of Priene and Miletus have benefited the neighboring Greek settlements. Cf. H. Gelzer, Geistliches und Weltliches, S. 231.
[28] Also called Kuru-Chesme, i.e., “dry fountain.” The place seems to have a Greek name, Ξεροκρένε as its prototype, though no place of this name is provable in Byzantine times.
[29] Details about the history of this school are to be found in K. Krumbacher, Populäre Aufsätze (Leipzig, 1909), S. 251 ff.
