§ 1. For the sake of clearness in introducing a long article, it is as well to state the purpose for which it has been written, and what it is hoped to prove by means of it. The scope of this article then is generally to discuss the whole question of the lands of Asy and Alashia-or Alasa, under which form this last is found in the hieroglyphs-and to bring to bear upon the subject some fresh information, which has not yet received due attention i. e.

1. The existence of a thriving copper industry on the mainland of Syria.

2. The political connections of these lands, as they appear in the Annals of Thothmes III and the Tell el Amarna Letters.

3. To reinforce the equation of Alashia with the Biblical Elishah, with Müller's comparision of the Biblical Rodanim to the Egyptian Danuna.

More particularly it is hoped to prove firstly that Asy and Alashia are continental lands, and secondly that they lie in the extreme north of Syria.

It has been suggested by Max Müller1), that the last of these names is the same as the other two, but not fully written out. Whether the usage of the language in transcribing the unfamiliar sounds of foreign names will uphold this suggestion must be left to philologists to decide, but in the course of this enquiry it will become abundantly clear, that archæologically there is nothing against such a proposition, but that whatever is applicable to Asy is also applicable to Alashia and vice versa; in fact it is difficult to distinguish clearly between the two.

After having discussed the position of these lands, their products will be treated, which again will be found to agree to a remarkable extent. To this will be appended any further scraps of information, that can be gleaned. With this explanation of the scope of the following remarks, we can approach the subject.

G. A. Wainwright,

§ 2. It has been generally accepted that Asy is Cyprus and in 1895 Max Müller tried to show that Alasa-Alashia was another form of the same word; hence that the latter land also is Cyprus. When the evidence upon which this belief rests comes to be examined, it is found that its corner stone is the occurrence of copper in the lands of Asy and Alashia, which occurrence is naturally compared to the famous copper industry of Cyprus in classical days. Now on going into the distribution of copper in this part of the world, we find that Cyprus is by no means the only copper-producing land in this corner. Even prima-facie considerations would show, that if copper is plentiful in Cyprus, then it should also be plentiful in the continuation of the Cypriote geologic formation

on the continent-the Amanus Mountains-or rather the district to the south of this range. As a matter of fact we find that copper ores are very plentiful in Asia Minor and North Syria, in which last land they are found in the Vilayet of Aleppo1); and a mining prospector, who has spent his life travelling in this part of the world, has informed the writer, that all this region is full of copper. Ancient copper mines are also reported in the N. Lebanon, and were found not far from Gebel el Arba'in in the neighbourhood of Riha and Keftin on a journey from Aleppo to Gebel Ala2).
