§. 10. 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. 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.
