Page 100, line 10. “ The natives of the Crimea still 
call the town of Kertchy Vospor, and the straits Vospor, 
although they write the word Bospor.”] — The preserva- 
tion of this name, as applied to the town of Kertchy by 
the present inhabitants, settles the antient geography of 
the Cimmerian Straits, in a very satisfactory manner ; 
as it serves, with a remarkable passage of Pliny, to prove 
that Kertchy was actually PanticapjEum, which was 
also called Bosphorus : and having once established the 
position of Panlicapceum, it necessarily follows, that Taman 
upon the opposite Asiatic shore, was the antient Phana- 
goria. These are Pliny’s words, in the passage to which 
allusion is made : “ Ad Panlicapceum, quod aliqui Bos- 
phorum vocant." (Vid. Hist. Nat. lib. iv. c. 12. tom. I. 
p. 227. Lugd. Bat. 1635.) In Count Potocki’s Map of the 
Crimea, the modern name is not Kertchy, but Vospor.
