A traveller who has made this road, and every moment expected to get a
bath, will at once recognize the following words in the short narrative of Goës' journey:
»Here Isaac the Armenian fell off the bank of a great river into the water, and lay
as it were dead for some eight hours till Benedict's exertions at last brought him
to.» Still he travelled through the Tenghi-tar in October, for he says he reached
Yarkand in November, 1603 and had some 20 days to Yarkand from the difficult
passage. I rode up the gorge on July 3rd, 1894, at a season when there was
much water in the river. Finally I crossed the two passes, Kichik-kok-moynak and
Katta-kok-moynak, being 4,593 and 4,738 m. high resp. »Between the two a small
fanshaped valley gathered up a number of mountain-rills, and out of them formed
an affluent to the Chichekli-su . . . . The name Chichekli is likewise given to the low
saddle which serves as the watershed between the glen of Tar-bashi and the glen
of Chichekli.»¹ Chichekli-kul is at a height of 4,458, and the passage of Chichekli-su
at 4,420 m.²
September 28th, 1895, I rode through the extensive village of Yaka-arik which
gets its irrigation water from a considerable canal, the Yaka-arik, »The isolated or
outermost canal», which gives its name to the village.³ As Yaka-arik is situated
only 19 km. S. W. of Yarkand, it is surprising that Goës should need five days
between the two places. Here the ground is perfectly even and the road excellent.
Either he has stayed four days in Yaka-arik and travelled one, or it is simply a slip
of his memory. Fifteen days from Tenghitar to Yaka-arik is also an exaggeration,
but may be readily explained by slow and short marches on account of the partly
very bad road.
Chicheklik, usually pronounced Chichekli by the Kirgiz, is a name alluding to
the presence of a certain plant called chichek. Yaka-arik is, as a rule, pronounced
Yakkarik, which comes somewhat nearer to Goës' Iakonich or Yakkonik. The two
words of the name are contracted to one. The same may be the case with Sacrithma
or Sakrikma.⁴
Benedict Goës' route from Chicheklik-davan to Yaka-arik no doubt followed
a road which was well known and used by caravans in his days and centuries before
