ABSTRACT

IT has already been said above that, in these times, the peoples who came forth from Armenia to settle the world were of infinite numbers, a fact which helps to clarify the following event and other similar ones. For the origen of these peoples, and even that of foreign folks, is falsely recorded by the Indian poets in remarkable poems after the manner of those of the Greeks and the Latins. But believing that these men procede from Adam and were not created separately in this land, as their ancient poems relate it, we must say that those who came hither were from Armenia, and that they were seeking lands in which to live, as others did, of which many examples might be shown, if it were not for the brevity at which I am aiming.
