§. 10. * 1.1 That Corsica also was possessed by the Phenicians, appears. 1. From its name Corsica, or Corsis, which is the same with the Phenician 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Chorsi; as if one should say, a place full of woods. 2. Corsica was also called by the Grecians 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, from the Phenician 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 horny: that is to say, the Horny Iland: because of its many Promontories, and angles. 3. Cal∣limachus in his hymne on Delus, cals Corsica, Phaenissa. 4. We read Ezech. 27.6. * 1.2 That the Tyrians made the benches of their Ships of boxe brought out of Citthim, that is the Iland of Cor∣sica, as Bochart proves Can. lib. 1. c. 32. It is, saies he, doubted, whether the Phenicians possessed Corsica: neither do the ancients make any great mention of it. Yet seeing they possessed Sardinia for so many ages, I can hardly believe, that they would spare an Iland so near, and so easily to be gained. This appears by what I have proved from Ezech. 27.6. also because this Iland is called Phaenissa in Callim••chi hymn. in Dedlum.
