OF Scithia. chap. 150.
SCithia is the greatest Region, and the ouer part thereof is in Asia, and the neather in Europa. And this neather part beginneth at the marreis Meotides, and stretcheth betwéene the riuer Danubius and the North Occean to Germania, as Isidore sayth, libro. 15. The first parte thereof is Alania, thē Meotides Paludes, then Gothia, Dacia, Rhetia, the Germa∣nia, where Sweues dwell, and occupye a greate deale thereof, as hée sayeth. In Scithia bée many regions and landes •• some thereof bée rich, and some bée inha∣vitable, and no men dwell therein. For in many places is much golde and precious stones, but for great griphons men come there but seld. There is best Smaragdus and most pure christall, as he saith, Ther in many places in Scithia be many men, wonderfullye shapen, and greate wilde beasts, as Linces, Tygers, and most cru∣ell Beares and Lions, and namely in the desarts and regions of Hircana. Looke be∣fore de Hircanis.
