STRATONICE.

THe selfesame province of Galatia affoorded two other dames woorthy of eternall memo∣rie, [ 40] to wit, Stratonice the wife of king Deiotarus, and Chiomara the wife of Ortiagon: as for Stratonice, she (knowing that the king her husband was desirous to have children lawfully begot∣ten, for to leave to be his successors & inheritors of the crowne, and yet could have none by her) praied and intreated him to trie another woman, and beget a childe of her body, yea and permit∣ted that it should be put unto her, and she would take it upon her as her owne: Deiotarus woon∣dered much at this resolution of hers, and was content to doe all things according to her mind: wherupon she chose (among other captives taken prisoner in the warres) a proper faire maiden named Electra, whom she brought into Deiotarus bed chamber, & shut them in both together: and all the children which this concubine bare unto him, his wife reared and brought up with as [ 50] kinde an affection and as princelike, as if she had borne them herselfe.
