Excerpt from History of Art in Phrygia, Lydia, Caria, and Lycia If affinity exists between Armenians and Phrygians, it may, perhaps, be otherwise explained. The two nations would have come of a parent stock, a main branch of the Aryan family - a branch which parted in far-off days, and formed two distinct rami fications. Of these, the one moved north of the Euxine and settled in the south-east of Europe, whence long afterwards they fell back upon Asia Minor whilst the other entered the peninsula at the Opposite end, through the passes of Caucasus, and the high levels binding it with the tableland of Iran. After centuries of separation, the two groups met again on the river Halys, which rises in Armenia, and whose lower course forms the line of delimi tation between Cappadocia and Phrygia.
