CHAP. XIV.
VERS. VI.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.
To Derbe, and Lystra, Cities of Lycaonia.
STRABO tells us expressly that Iconium also was within Lycaoniab 1.1; Thence are the Lyconian Hills, plain, cold, naked, and pastures for wild Asses, &c. There are also the lakes, the greater called Coralis; the less, called Trogitis.〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉▪ About those places stands Iconium, a Town built in a better soil than what I mentioned as the pasture of wild Asses. Ptolomy also places Iconium in Lycaoniac 1.2. How comes it to pass then that St. Luke doth not call Iconium a City of Lycaonia, as well as

Derbe and Lystra? Because Iconium was of something a distinct jurisdiction. d 1.3Datur et Tetrarchia ex Lycaonia, &c. There is also granted a Tetrarchy out of Lycaonia, on that side that bounds upon Galatia, consisting of fourteen Cities, the most famous of which is Iconium.
VERS. XI.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.
In the Speech of Lycaonia.
IT is hard to say what the Lycaonian Tongue was; nor is it easie to say why this was added, when it might have sufficed to have said, They lift up their voices, saying, the Gods, &c.
I. I should hardly be perswaded the Lycaonian Language was any Greek Dialect, when it sufficiently appears by what I lately quoted out of Strabo that there were peculiar Mother Tongues in these Countries, distinct from the Greek. And he himself remarketh * 1.4, That the Carians, who are situated something nearer Greece than the Lycaonians, were called by Homer〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, people of a barbarous language; so the Phrygians also were Bar∣bari, barbarouse 1.5.
Let us hear once again what Strabo saith f 1.6, The Coppadocians who use the same language, are those chiefly who are bounded South-ward, with that part of Cilicia, that is called Taurus East-ward by Armenia, and Colchis;〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and other interja∣cent Countries, that use a different language. What amongst these other languages, should be the Lycaonian, let him find out, that hath leisure and capacity to do it. As for my part I neither can, nor dare attempt it.
