Extract

The Latin strāta is one of the words of culture which passed to the East. Greek has στρτα Aramaic has srṭy' Levy, Chaldäisches Wb., Dalman, Aram, nhebr. Wb., with plural srṭyn, as also the form 'sṭrṭy' in the same sense. For Syriac is quoted (Brockelmann, Lex. Syr.) 'sṭrṭ. Arabic has ṣirāṭ in the eschatological al-ṣirāṭu 'l-mustaqīmu of the Qur'ān. A similar narrow bridge is well known in the Zoroastrian činvatō pərəntuš of the Avesta.
