the same as Germanicopolis, known also by another Name 

 Booscoate, as also Apamea, now called Myrtea of the Colo- 

 phonians. The River Etheleum, the ancient limit of Troas, 

 and where Mysia beginneth. Afterwards the Gulf into 

 which runneth the River Ascanium, the Town Bryllion. 

 The Rivers Hylas and Cios, with a Town of that Name : 

 which was a Place of Trade, not far off from the Inhabitants 

 of Phrygia, and built by the Milesians in a Place called As- 

 cania of Phrygia. And therefore we cannot do better than 

 here to speak of that Country. Phrygia spreadeth out above 

 Troas and the Nations before named, from the Promontory 

 Lectus unto the River Etheleus. It bordereth on the 

 North upon part of Galatia, southward it boundeth on Ly- 

 caonia, Pisidia, and Mygdonia ; and on the east it reacheth 

 to Cappadocia. The most celebrated Towns besides those 

 before spoken of, are Ancyra, Andria, Celsense, Colossae, Ca- 

 rina, Cotiaion, Ceranae, Iconium, and Midaion. Certain 

 Authors write, that out of Europe have passed over the 

 Mysi, Bryges, and Thyni, from whom are named the Mysi, 

 Phryges, and Bithyni. 



At the same time I think it good to write also of Galatia, 

 which lying higher than Phrygia, possesseth a greater part of 

 its plain Country, and the former Capital of it, called Gordium. 

 They who inhabited that Quarter were sprung from the Gauls, 

 and were called Tolistobogi, Voturi, and Ambitui : but they 

 that occupied the Country of Maeonia and Paphlagonia were 

 named Trocmi. Cappadocia is spread along from the North 

 and East ; and the most plenteous Tract thereof the Tecto- 

 sages and Teutobodiaci kept in their Possession. And thus 

 much for these Nations. The People and Tetrarchies are in 

 all a hundred and ninety and five. The Towns: of the 

 Tectosages, Ancyra : of the Trocmi, Tavium : of the Tolisto- 

 bogians, Pesinus. Besides these, there are celebrated the 

 Attalenses, Arasenses, Comenses, Dios-Hieronitse, Lystreni, 

 Neapolitani, Oeandenses, Seleucenses, Sebasteni, Timmonia- 

 censes, and Tebaseni. Galatia extendeth to Gabalia and 

 Milyse in Pamphylia; which are situated about Baris : also 

 Cyllanticum and Oroandicum, a Tract of Pisidia : likewise
