Krim, or Krimenda, Crimaea, a City of the Lesser Tartary, in the Taurick Chersonese, in the Euxine Sea. It stands towards the middle of this Chersonese; between Precop to the North, and Caffa to the South. Very small, and almost reduced to the meanness of a Village; though it gives Name to the whole Nation in which it stands; and is the usual Seat of the Cham.
