Excerpt from A History of the Island of Chios: A. D. 70-1822
Dr. Vlasto's work, entitled "Xiaka," or "The History of the Island of Chios from its earliest times down to its destruction, by the Turks in 1822," is divided into two parts. Of these, the first deals with the history of the island from the earliest times down to the year A.D. 70, the date of its incorporation in the Roman Empire; the second commences with that date, and carries the history of the island down to the year of its destruction by the Turks in 1822.
The first part consists mainly of a narrative of the share taken by the inhabitants of the island in the events of the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars, and the Macedonian and Roman conquests. As these events are fully related in the histories of Greece and Rome, it has not been thought necessary to undertake the translation of this part of the work. But it is otherwise with regard to the events related in the second part. Of these there is no other connected narrative known to the translator, and it is for those, who, though desirous of learning something of the later history of the island, do not possess a knowledge of modern Greek sufficient to enable them to read the original text, that this translation has been undertaken.
Except for some small omissions, in no way affecting the continuity of the narrative, this translation is an unabridged rendering of the original text. The last three chapters of the original work have been divided into five in this translation. Neither the views of Chios, nor the map, form part of the original work. The views are reproductions of those in Prince Demetrius Rodocanachi's work, "Justinianis - Chios." Syra, 1900.
