One historian says that “every territory in the plain of the Tigris and Euphrates, from Armenia to the Persian gulf, as well as northeastward to the Caspian Sea, and eastward to Media, contained Jewish populations. ”
Üks ajaloolane ütleb, et „juutide kogukondi oli kõikjal: Tigrise ja Eufrati tasandikul, alates Armeeniast kuni Pärsia laheni, kirdes Kaspia mereni ja ida pool Meediani ”.
