"1894, H.E. Wassa Pasha and P. Colquhoun, "The Pelasgi and their Modern Albanian Descendants", in The Imperial and Asiatic Quarterly Review and Oriental and Colonial Record, New Series, Vol. VII, No. 13, The Oriental University Institute, Woking. Interesting too is the contention, that after the Pelasgi had occupied Asia Minor and the islands in the Aegean Sea, they conquered Greece, became gradually grecicized, and then, from Greece, re-conquered their original settlements, which in the meanwhile had themselves become grecicized."
