The report is an interesting one in many respects, and it
gives what information is known here regarding the introduction of the disease into the Island and the manner in which it came to be spread. It is difficult to believe that a disease, which has been known to exist in these Eastem countries from time immemorial, never found its way into Cyprus till three centuries ago, but no doubt the earliest known record of it in the Island may not go buck beyond that date.
