In Phrygia minor, is not found any thing at present worthy in trade to stay the course of my penne; it affordeth the place where the ancient and famous Citie of Troy was seated, which cost the Grecians ten yeares siege to take it, with the losse of 860000 of the Trojans, and 666000 of the Grecians, but in Anno 1620, I hardly saw the reliques of this mightie fabrique, though I traced it for many miles, and gave care to all the ridiculous fables of those poore Grecians that inhabite thereabouts in many villages which lie within the compasse of her ancient walls, from mount Id•… to the River Scamander, now onely a brooke not two foote deepe; so that, what Ovid said of old I found by experience verefied, I a•… seges est ubi Tr•…ia fuit, &c.

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.
