The seventh chapter lets us know the findings of the Keltas from the early Iron Age for this region has no those from the Kimmers and Skitas. And especially of these the agricultures known by the people and by bibliography as well as devil-ditch or csörsz-ditch. One of these starts lust from the district of Baja going through the Alföld in north-east to Nagyvárad. The author is convinced by his explorations, that this large ditch (it was made undoubtedly for military purpose) turns to south, and that the north defended against the south. He emphasises, that they might not be water supplies, for they go everywhere on the top of the watereheds. He thinks they had originated in the fights of Keltas and Daks, which had not been rising at the same time, but during the three hundred years according to the fights determining the frontier of the two nation. Thus they are remarkable as frontier as well. The title of the eights chapter is unusual: »The first settlers.« It speaks, about the Yazyg—Sarmats, who do justice in the beginning of our chronoligy over the Kelta—Dak antagonism, by occupiing the Alföld of the Karpats and separate the two fighter from each-other. He regards this population as the nation which becomes the inhabitant of the country and resists of the conqueror of the Settler Age. In the tenth chapter we find the »larges« of the Settler Age. The Huns, the Germans, the Avars. But amidst these the author alwasy shows the national continuity, which can be observed parallel whith the findings of all the three conquerors, in those of archelogy. Thus he regards the whole first thousand years as the history of a »lost nation«, in which the Yazyg—Sarmats live on even in the yoke of ruling nations and as population of the land established that national row to the Alföld, which after the avar ruin in the Bulgarian Age appears as so-called »Slavish« element under the praefeudal hegemony of the »Zsupan«-s. The content of the eleventh chapter is the development of this land’s people. The natural connections of the groups of nation shows that why don’t these inhabitants living in praefeudalisme resists against the settlers. The compliance is common and thus by having been the settlers together with the people of the land form the Hungarian nation of the Middle Age. I. e. the mediaevel Hungarian nation consists of the ancient Yazyg—Sarmats, called up to the present »Slavish« and the sattlers having come in as well from the east. The findings of the Settler Age are in the twelfth chapter, while in the thirteenth those of Arpáds, and at last the mediaeval findings are in the fourteens chapter. The history is not more now of to be seen, — heard, — caught, —< events, it’s at the same time such a biological progress, which starts out from nature and returns there. We make the greatest abstraction about it’s the more material. 82
