Of Salamais.

SAlamais, Salamin, or Salamina was one of the principal cities of Cyprus, and was distant from Ierusalem 196 miles towards the North; built by Teucer the sonne of Telamon, and scituated in the Eubeian sea just against Athens. The occasion why this town was built, hapned by reason of a discontent that grew betweene Teucer and his father Telamon: for Teucer returning from Troy (not hauing reuenged the death of his brother Ajax) so much in∣censed his father that he banished him his countrie, whereupon Teucer sailed thence to Cyprus, where he built this citie, and be∣cause of the extraordinarie affection that he bore to the countrie where he was borne, called it by the name of Salamena, or Sala∣mais. Saint Ierom saith, that there is a riuer of extraordinary hot water that runneth through a great part of this countrie; and that it was once ouercome by the Iewes, and vtterly ruined and de∣stroied; but afterward repeopled and called by the name of Con∣stantia. This towne at this day is called by the name of Famagu∣sta, and was taken (with the whole Island of Cyprus) by Mustapha chiefe Captaine to Selimus the second, Emperour of the Turkes, An. Dom. 1570. Solon that notable and famous Philosopher was borne in this Towne. And Paul and Barnabas sailed out of Syria and liued in this Towne, Acts 31.
