TK.VTHIli >KX, Kent, a market-town, municipal borough, and the 

 seat of a Poor-Law Union, in the parish of Tenterdeu, is situated in 

 61 4' N. iat., 41' E. long., distant 19 miles S.S.E. from Maidstone, 

 and 55 miles S.E. from London. The population of the borough in 

 1851 was 3901. The borough is governed by 4 aldermen and 12 

 councillors, of whom one is mayor. The living is a vicarage in the

Tenterden is a member of the cinque port of Rye. The town 

 itamU on an eminence, in a rich agricultural district. The church is 



spacious and handsome edifice, chiefly of perj>endicular character, 

 having a lofty tower at the west end, to which a beacon was formerly 

 attached. It was as early as the 16th century a popular saying that 

 " Teuterden steeple was the cause of Goodwin Sands." This has been 

 supposed to originate from the circumstance of the funds destined for 

 keeping up Sandwich Huven having been applied to the building of 

 this church. There are places of worship for Wesli-yan Methodists, 

 Bryauites, Baptist*. and Unitarians ; National schools, partly endowed ; 

 a British school ; Dr. Curtis's endowed school for girls ; two Commer- 

 cial schools ; an atherucuni ; and a mutual improvement society. The 

 town-hall is a modern building. The market is held on Friday ; ami 



yearly fair for cattle, wool, &a., on the first Monday in May. A

THUS, now called Budrum, a town of Ionia, situated on the south 

 side of a peninsula between th liulf of Smyrna and the Qulf of 

 Clazomenx, very near Cape Courco, in 88" 15' N. Iat, 26 30' K. long. 

 It was originally colonised by Minyte from Orchomenus, and afterwards 

 strengthened by colonies from Athens and Bceotia. Teos was one of 

 the twelve cities which formed the confederacy of the Panionium 

 (Herod., i. 142). It was also one of the four cities of Ionia which 

 participated in the Hellonium at Naucratis in Egypt, in the time of 

 Amnsu. (Herod., it 178.) On the conquest of Ionia by Cyrus the 

 Teians retired to Abdera in Thrace, where they founded a colony 

 which eclipsed tho parent state. (Herod., i. 168.) At the battle of 

 Lade 17 Teian ships are mentioned among the forces of the Greek* 

 Tec* was the birth-place of Apellicon, the preserver of the works of 

 Aristotle, and of Aimcnon. who U represented on the coins of the 

 city playing on his lyre. It appears from Livy (xxxvii. 23) that it 

 had two port*, one in front of the city, which U now partly dry and 

 choked up with rnnd ; and the other, Gene, 4 miles to the north- 

 west, the entrance to which was so narrow as hardly to admit 

 two ships at a time ; it is now the lite of the cat-tie and town of 

 Bigha-jik. The site of Teos is now covered with olive-trees and corn- 

 field*, divided by walls and hedge-rows. The city walls, of which traces 

 are extant, were about 5 miles in circuit. Chandler found remains of 

 the temple of Bacchus and a theatre. Hamilton mentions several 

 other temples and ruins, and the mole of the city harbour, on which 

 an still seen " several projecting stones terminating in a ring," for the 

 p'lrpo-e of mooring vessels to the quay. [ ASIA MmoR, vol. ii., pp. 11

 quarries, in which several gigantic blocks, chiselled and marked for 

 some greit building, (till lie. The Teians believed that Bacchus was 

 born there, and on hii account their territory ws sacred, or protected

TBHXATE, one of the Moluccas, situated near 60* N. Iat, 

 long., is 10 miles long and about 5 miles wide. Its sore- 

 reign is in possession of a considerable portion of the islands of 

 and Celebes. The Dutch have an establishment on the island at Fort 

 orange, which numbers about 8000 residents. The northern group 

 of the Moluccas U sometimes called the Tomato Islands. 



Ths greater part of the island consists of a volcanic mountain 4095 

 feet above the sea-level. The remainder of the island ia very fertile, 

 and affords rice and the other productions of the Indian Archipelago. 

 The Dutch have recently made Ternate a free port. The exports are 

 rice, edible birds-nests, trepang, sharks-fins, tortoise-shells, small 

 pearls, and lories. The inhabitants are Malays, \vho have embraced 

 Islam. The king is dependent on the Dutch. 



Ternate was first visited by the Portuguese in 1521, and some years 

 afterwards they formed a settlement, which passsd into the hands of 

 the Dutch in 1606, who in 1680 reduced the king to a state of depend- 

 ence on them, and enlarged their establishment. In 1797 it was taken, 

 together with Amboyua, by the English, who restored it at the peace 

 in 1S01 ; it was again taken in 1810, and again given up to Holland 

 by the treaty of Paris iu 1811.

TERRACI'NA, a towu in the States of the Church, near the 

 Neapolitan frontier, about 56 miles S.E. from Rome, has about 4000 

 inhabitants. The old town, which is built on the site of the ancient 

 Anxur, rises in the form of an amphitheatre on the slope of a calca- 

 reous rock, which is a projection of the ridge called Monti Lepini, 

 leaving but a narrow strip of land between it aud the sea, along which 

 runs the high road to Naples in the track of the ancient Via Appia. 

 Along the road are the modern buildings of Terraciua, consisting of 

 the post-house and inns, custom-house, granaries, and other structures 

 for public use. Tha old harbour, which was restored by the emperor 

 Antoninus, has been long since filled up, but remains of the mole aru 

 (till seen. The old town ia an assemblage of poor-looking houses, 

 perchvd one above another, surrounded and overtopped by white cliffs, 

 which are seen from afar. (Horace, ' Sat.,' i. o.) Above all rises the 

 cathedral with its lofty steeple ; nn elegant palace built by Pius VI. ; 

 the remains of the palace called that of Theodoric, which is a structure 

 of the 5th century of our era, and is situated on the summit of the 

 bill, and about 600 feet above the sea ; and an old castle raised in the 

 middle ages. Remains of nn ancient theatre are also seen. The 

 climate of Terracina is very mild aud genial iu winter, but unwhole- 

 some in summer. 



Anj-ur was a thriving town of the Volsci ; was taken by the Romans 

 in tho year B.C. 403 ; was retak-u by surprise iu H.C. 399 ; and taken 

 again by the Romans three years after. It afterwards became 11 

 Human colony by the name of Tarracina. The Temple of Jupiter at 

 Tarrncinn is mentioned by Livy. (Livy, iv. 69 ; v. 10-13 ; xxviii. 11.)
