Excerpt from Larcher's Notes on Herodotus, Vol. 2 of 2: Historical and Critical Comments on the History of Herodotus, With a Chronological Table The gold, which was the Object Of the intercourse with the Issedones, seems to have influenced most of the commentators Of Herodotus in placing that nation in Central Asia. But the discovery Of gold in the Uralian mountains Of late years does away with the necessity Of strain ing that author's meaning; and Eichwald has now revived, with some chance of success, the Opinion Of Reichard, that the Issedones dwelt on the banks Of the river Iset, at the eastern side Of the Ural. The defect Of this decision is, that it appears to rest on similarity Of names; but it does not involve any improbability, nor require to be supported by any forced interpretation. The Issedones therefore maybe supposed to have occupied the eastern slope Of the Ural, on the rivers Iset and Tobol, having for neighbours on the south 2, the Massagetae, who then spread over the Steppes now possessed by the Kirghis hordes.
