			<blockquote>Phrygia, a Country of the Lesser Asia, divided in ancient times into Phrygia Magna or Major, and Phrygia Minor. Phrygia Major lay betwixt Bithynia, Galatia, Pamphylia, Lydia, and Mysia. Its principal Cities were Synnada and Hierapolis. Sometime called Pacatiana; Now, as it is under the Turks, Germian. The other was famous for the Rivers Xanthus and Simois, and the City Troy standing in it: the ancient Troas being in this Phrygia contained by the general accounts. This Phrygia had the name also of Hellespontiaca, from its situation upon the Aegean Sea, towards the Hellespont.</blockquote>
