Not illustrated. 1895 Excerpt: ... cruciform church, with an aisle on its N. side, and the picturesque village of Sivri-histar (rockhewn dwellings and church), the home of many of the bakals of BtambOl. Hence there is a rough descent to Gelvere, or Kalvare, Carbala (2f Ins.), alt. 4510 ft, near which was Arianxut, the hereditary property of Gregory of Nazianzus. It is a Greek village with rock-hewn houses, churches, and tombs; and it has a church with relics of 8. Gregory. The rock-dwellings at Sclme and Ikhlara (p. 163) are about 1 hr. to the west.

There is now a slight rise to Inegi or Anaku (IJ hrs.), a thriving village with underground chambers partly fallen in.
