"These statements of Xenophon already indicate a demarcation of the territory afterwards called Mesopotamia, as well as its division into two sections. The fertile portion, inhabited by agricultural Aramaeans, stretched from the Euphrates to the Chaboras; the desert portion, the home of wandering tribes, extended to the Tigris."

Encyclopedia Britannica

The Encyclopædia Britannica is one of the oldest and most authoritative general knowledge reference works in the world. It was first published in 1768 in Edinburgh and originally issued in three volumes. Over time, it expanded into a massive multi-volume encyclopedia covering a wide range of subjects, written and reviewed by scholars and experts. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, it became a standard reference work in homes, schools, and libraries, known for its scholarly depth and reliability. In 2012, Britannica ended its print edition after more than 240 years and transitioned fully to a digital format, continuing as an online resource.
