Here's 1. Pontus, where are 1 the mid-land towns, Claudiopolis, Flaviopolis, Juliopolis, called so from the Roman Emperours that built them. 2. the Sea-towns, as 1 Heraclea Ponti, the seat and residence of an Emperour formerly, and now a place of good Trade. 2 Diospolis on the Euxine Sea. 3 Amastris. 4 Sinope on a Promontory shooting into the Main. 5 Castamona. 6 Favagoria. 7 Amasia, where the Grandsigniour's Eldest Son is kept alwayes as soon as circumcised till his Fathers death. 8 Diopolis, where Mithredates escaped Lucullus, by strewing treasure in his way. 9 Polemonium. 10 Hermanassa. 11 Nixana. 12 Sebastia; hereabouts were the war-like Amazons, that had noMales among them; going to their Neighbour Nations once in three years for copulation, and if they brought forth Males, they sent them to their Fathers, if Females they kept them. 13 Cerasus, whence Cherries were brought to Rome A.V.C. 680. 14 Ischopolis. 15.
