To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In the Matieniof Zagros and Cappadocia, in the Sauro-matae (or Northern Medes) of thecountry between the Palus Maeotis and the Caspian, in the Maetae orMaeotae of the tract about the mouth of the Don, and in the Maedi ofThrace, we have seemingly remnants of a great migratory host which, starting from the mountains that overhang Mesopotamia, spread itselfinto the regions of the north and the north-west at a time whichdoes not admit of being definitely stated, but which is clearlyanti-historic. W...hether these races generally retained any tradition oftheir origin, we do not know; but a tribe which in the time of Herodotusdwelt still further to the west than even the Maedi--to wit, theSigynnae, who occupied the tract between the Adriatic and theDanube--had a very distinct belief in their Median descent, a beliefconfirmed by the resemblance which their national dress bore to that ofthe Medes. Herodotus, who relates these facts concerning them, appendsan expression of his astonishment at the circumstance that emigrantsfrom Media should have proceeded to such a distance from their originalhome; how it had been brought about he could not conceive.
