But I don't know, some gut feeling tells me it is not Arabia, and not Dagestan/Georgia, but something in between, I would strongly suspect may be Azerbaijan or something Ottoman(?).

P.S. Did you try to apply the new "dressed to kill" theory ? I mean, you should not have any problems "to sundry unsolved problems in weapons research" with it.

Thanks for some degree of relief!...
As to the new theory....No, I did not, but some of my patients applied it generously and liberally and told me that "Preparation H" was better.
