...The Armenians, of all people in the East, are those most remarkable for patience and sobreity. They are generally masters of most of the eastern languages, are of strong, robust constitutions ; of all people, the most attentive to the beasts and merchandise they are in charge ; exceedingly faithful and content with little."
