there is now no place near the Sea of Aral where snow stays
so long.
The next important author, Edrisi, A. D. 1154, speaks of
Aral as "a well-known lake," and confirms most of what
Istakhri says, including the snow. He gives the distance,
however, between the mouths of the Oxus and Jaxartes in
Lake Aral as only ten miles. This apparently means that
the Jaxartes had then changed its course to the old channel
already referred to in connection with Herodotus, a course
which it appears to have followed intermittently. It flowed
there as late as 1816. Of the Caspian Sea, Edrisi says that
"it is elongated from north to south less than from east to
west. [The italics are mine.] The two axes have the ratio
of four to three." His map, however, shows it otherwise.
It seems as if we had here a revival of the Scythian gulf,
either because Edrisi had read Ptolemy, or more probably
because the rising water of the Caspian had once more
broadened the southern end of the sea.
According to Rawlinson, "The Arab geographer Ya-
cut . . . about A. D. 1225 furnishes the earliest record of the
Oxus having found its way into the Caspian, after it had
been turned into its old bed by the Moghuls at the siege of
Urgenj [ancient Khiva] in 1221." Rawlinson, it should be
said, believed that in ancient Greek times the Oxus flowed
to the Caspian. Hence his reference to the "old bed" into
which the Mongols diverted the river. Abdulfeda, seventy
or eighty years after Yacut, describes the Oxus and Aral
in essentially the same way as Istakhri and Edrisi, with no
reference to any connection with the Caspian. Possibly the
overflow of the Oxus to the Caspian lasted only a few years.
