	<blockquote>The Euxine Sea, Pontus Euxinus, Axenos, now by the Turks called Cara Denguis, i. e. the Furious Sea, and by others the Black Sea; is encompassed round by [[Anatolia]], [[Mingrelia]], [[Circassia]], [[Tartaria Precopensis\|the Crim Tartary]], and [[Podolia]]; with no other out-let than the Bosphorus Thracius, accounting the Palus Moeotis as a Bay or branch of it: so that it seems more properly a Lake. Yet these great Rivers, the Danube, Nieper, Niester, [[Phasis]], Corax, Sangarius, and many others discharge their floods into it. It is in length from East to West about one hundred eighty eight Leagues: In breadth, at the Western End, from the Bosphorus Thracius to the Nieper, three Degrees: at the Eastern, the half thereof. And is dangerous to navigate: Not so green, nor clear, nor brackish as the Ocean, by reason of the Influx of those Rivers. And now wholly under the [[The Turkish Empire\|Dominion of the Grand Seignior]], without whose leave no Vessel passes upon it.</blockquote>		<blockquote>The Euxine Sea, Pontus Euxinus, Axenos, now by the Turks called Cara Denguis, i. e. the Furious Sea, and by others the Black Sea; is encompassed round by [[Anatolia]], [[Mingrelia]], [[Circassia]], [[Tartaria Precopensis\|the Crim Tartary]], and [[Podolia]]; with no other out-let than the Bosphorus Thracius, accounting the Palus Moeotis as a Bay or branch of it: so that it seems more properly a Lake.
