the hides are set on the backs of asses, which are then driven back to Armenia, for it is not by any means possible to go upstream by water, because of the swiftness of the current;
The Rights of War and Peace
Country entered by Cyrus, whose king he approached with a demand for tribute before hostilities.
We are informed by Xenophon, that when Cyrus went into the country of the Armenians, he sent messengers to the kind, to demand the tribute and number of troops, which had been stipulated by treaty.
Adversus Judaeos
A region named among the places whose inhabitants have believed in Christ.
In whom have the nations believed — the Parthians, the Medes, the Elamites, and those who dwell in Mesopotamia, Armenia, Phrygia, Cappadocia, and those who inhabit Pontus and Asia and Pamphylia, those who reside in Egypt, and those who inhabit the region of Africa beyond Cyrene, Romans and resident foreigners, and then the Jews in Jerusalem, and the other nations — as now the various tribes of the …
