This article appears in Volume V15, Page 955 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KUTAIS , a town of Russian Caucasia,
capital
  of the government of the same name, 6o m. by rail E. of Poti and 5 M. from the Rion station of the railway between Poti and
Tiflis
 . Pop. (1897), 32,492. It is one of the oldest towns of Caucasia, having been the ancient
capital
  (Aea or Kutaea) of Colchis, and later the capital of Imeretia (from ?92); Procopius mentions it under the name of Kotatision. Persians, Mongols, Turks and Russians have again and again destroyed the town and its fortress. In 18ro it became Russian. It is situated on both banks of the Rion river, which is spanned by three bridges. Its most remarkable building is the ruined
cathedral
 , erected in the 11th century by the Bagratids, the ruling dynasty of Georgia, and destroyed by the Turks in 1692; it is the most important representative extant of Georgian architecture. The fort, mentioned by Procopius, is now a heap of ruins, destroyed by the Russians in 1770. The inhabitants make hats and silks, and
trade
  in agricultural produce and wine. On the right bank of the Rion is a government model
garden
 , with a model farm.
KUT-EL-AMARA, a small town in Turkish
Asia
 , on the
east
  bank of the
Tigris
  (32 29' 19" N., 44 45' 37" E.) at the point where the
Shaft
 -el-Hai leaves that stream. It is a coaling station of the steamers plying between Basra and Bagdad, and 'an important Turkish post for the
control
  of the lower
Tigris
 .
