1693. A geographical dictionary representing the present and ancient names by Edmund Bohun.
Rodosto, Redcestum, a City of Thrace; which is a Bishops See, under the Archbishop of Heraclea: it stands upon the Propontis, twenty Miles from Heraclea to the South; at the foot of an Hill by a Bay of the same name, which affords it a convenient and very large Haven: so that it is now a Place of considerable Trade, and reasonably populous. Pliny calls this City Resiston. It is beautified with many great Mosques, some Grecian Churches, and two Synagogues: and much frequented by the Merchants of Romania, the Sea of Marmora, and the Black Sea.
