=== 1693. A geographical dictionary representing the present and ancient names by Edmund Bohun. ===
<blockquote>Gallipoli, Gallipolis, Anxa, a City of the Kingdom of Naples, in the Terra di Otranto; built on a Rock, upon the Western Shoar, in the Bay of Taranto; thirty six Miles from that City, and in an Island which is only joined to the Continent by a Bridge, supported by huge massy Stones. Small, but well fortified, and populous, with a good Haven, a strong Castle, and good Walls: it is a Bishops See, but his Diocese is bounded by the Walls of the City, and he is under the Archbishop of Taranto.
