12 PAPHLAGONIA.
On the East side of Pontus is PAPHLAGONIA (so cal∣led from Paphlago, son to Phineus) watred with the riuer Par∣thenius. The chief city is Pompe••opolis, built by Pompey the great. 2 Sinopo famous for its plenty of brasse, Lead, and other mine∣rals. 3 Tios of old a Colony of the Milesians; 4 Citoros built & named by Citorus the son of that Phryxus, of whom Phrygia took denomination. 4 Amysus a sea-towne once of great fame, now called Simiso. Mithridates, of whom we but now spake, was this Countryman by birth, who for that cause so loued it, that he here kept his residence, and made the city of Sinope his regall seat. This little Country was heretofore the seat of foure d••fferent Nations, viz: 1 the Tibareni, of whom it is said, that they neuer waged warre on any enemy, but they faithfully cer∣tified them before-hand, of the time and place of their fight. 2ly the Heptacometae. 3ly the Mossynoeci, both which were a peo∣ple so beastly & shamelesse, that they vsed to performe the work of generation in publique, not knowing that multa sunt honesta factu, quae sunt turpia visu: and 4ly the Heneti, to whom the Venetians, as we haue already said, doe owe their originall.
