Of the citie of Chian.

THis little citie of Chian was built in times past neere vnto Nilus by the Mahumetans, which notwithstanding is not nowe inhabited by them but by the christiās called Iacobites, who employ themselues either in hus∣bandrie, or in bringing vp of chickens, geese, and doues. There remaine as

yet certaine monasteries of Christians, that giue entertainment to stran∣gers. But Mahumetans (besides the gouernour and his family) there are none at all.
