Excerpt from Transactions the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, Vol. 20 There seems to be room for a careful and critical examination of the sources for the history of the little-known city of Dor. This work presents the results of an investigation which has aimed to take into account all the extant literature bearing on the subject.
