"Sassun" signifies "pillar upon pillar." This explains the origin of the name of Sassun, a district of the old Armenian province Achznik, south of the city of Musch. The residents of this district up to the present day owe their independence to their inaccessible dwelling-place.
The names cited here exist to the present day. The places lie in the old districts of the Turuberan and Achznik in the present district Musch.
The Armenians now call Egypt Mösr. This probably refers to Mossul.
