Xiii. 2; Sacred Books of the East, vol. V. P. 354, chap. Xii. 26, also p. 349. 60 JONAH According to Darmesteter, Zartust, or Zoroaster, belonged to Media, and his birthplace was either at Atropatene or Eagha, the same as Rai, the ruins of which are yet visible near Tehran. The province of Yq, ys — which gives the name t^ Persia, and from which ' Farsee, ' the Hindostan word for a Persian comes, and also the word ' Parsee ' — is at the head of the Persian Gulf So the land from Media to the Pers...ian Gulf was at one time Zoroastrian in its religion, and Mesopotamia, if not of the same cult, was at least in close touch with it. A good amount of knowledge has come down to us about the Ancient Mysteries ; and yet there is much that is uncertain regarding some parts of them. A work upon them by a properly qualified writer, who could bring all the knowledge of the day to bear on the subject, would be a valuable addition to our literature. The examples of initiatory rites already given in these pages will enable us to apply the com- parative method, at least as far as it will go, and fortunately it will be found to be almost enough for our present purpose.
