It has a different meaning here, I know; but I was interested to see
tonight, as I was going over my *Dictionary of the Khazars* (the male
copy) in hopes of gleaning something of relevance to the NTA episode in
GRGR(16) -- one of my personal favorites -- the line, "According to a
12th-century  Russian chronicle, Oleg was already called archon of the
Khazar state by the year 1083..." Just because I had been seeing the
word Archon on the list quite a bit of late.

their outlines for years, although the buildings themselves had already
been destroyed long before. They held fast in the wind and in the waters
of the Volga.
