ATtica is the same prouince, that was the olde Grecia, a parte or the Ci∣tie thereof was sometime called Athens. And was sometime nourisher of Philo∣sophers, and mother of liberall lectures: and in Greece was nothing more noble, nothing more worthy, then that Citye, while it gaue businesse to study of loue of wit, and wisdome, as Plinius saith and Isidore li. 15. Plato of Athens was Doc∣tor of all the Prouince of Attica, yt was Grecia.
(Athenae the famous Citie of A∣thens, betweene Macedoma and Achaia, in the Sea coast, it once was called Actae, and after Attica. This (as Hy∣ginus sayeth) was first builded by Ce∣cropt, and called Cecropia, afterward by Mopsus, Mopsopia, and last of all A∣thens, of Minerua, whome the Gréekes call Athenam, for they reporte that Neptune and Minerua contended for the name, that it was agréed betwéene them, that he shoulde haue the name that gaue vnto mankinde, the wor∣thyest and most profitablest GIFFE, where∣vppon Neptune brought foorth an horse, and Minerua an Oliue tree. The mat∣ter beeing put to voyces which was ye most profitable, Neptune was cast by one voice, and gaue place vnto Mi∣nerua. This Uniuersitie was the in∣uentour and diuisour of all liberall Artes and Sciences, and the mother and nurse of all auncient Philosophers, Oratoures, and Poets: and therefore was called as it were the mart towne of all good learing, whether they resor∣ted to studye, out of all partes of the worlde. D. Cooper. The∣saurus.)
Demosthenes with noble speaking made this Citye haue a great name, pas∣sing long time during, as Salustius say∣eth. But passing all other Ariopagita Saint Paules Disciple, commendeth and maketh famous this Citie. For by his greate wit and profounde wisedome hee lighted all partes of the worlde, as say∣eth Epiphanius in the commendation of Denis Ariopagite, and Isidore sayth the same.
