Taurica Chersonesus, the Peninsula dividing Europe and Asia; upon Il Mare Maggiore, and the Sea of Zabache: from East to West twenty four Miles long, fifteen broad; filled heretofore with Noble Greek Cities. Upon the Eastern side of it, stands Caffa, (which was the ancient Theodosia) under the Turks. In the entrance of the Neck of it, Precop; under the Tartars: from whence the whole Peninsula is sometimes called Precopsca; and the Inhabitants, the Precopensian Tartars. It makes the most Southern part of the Krim Tartary.
