[Footnote 85: The expedition of Heraclius into Persia is
finely illustrated by M. D'Anville, (Memoires de l'Academie
des Inscriptions, tom. xxviii. p. 559 - 573.) He discovers
the situation of Gandzaca, Thebarma, Dastagerd, &c., with
admirable skill and learning; but the obscure campaign of
624 he passes over in silence.]
