[221] About two hours on horse from Gallipoli.
[222] Seadeddin, i. 58-63.
[223] Gilbert Cousin, Opera, i. 390 (evidently copying Drechsler), and Egnatius, de Origine Turcarum (Paris, 1539), p. 29, give date A.D. 1363. But do they not follow Phr., I. 26, p. 80?
[224] Donado de Lezze, p. 7, and Paolo Giovio, both ardent Venetians, and Rabbi Joseph, i. 245, give the names of these vessels, though differently. Nicolas de Nicolay, who passed through the Hellespont in 1551, says that this story of the Genoese was a tradition of the locality. He locates the castle of Tzympe a few miles from the Aegaean end of the strait! Les quatre livres des navigations (1587 ed.), p. 58. Sauli, Della Colonia Genovese in Galata, ii. 44-5, vigorously defends the Genoese against this calumny.
[225] There is no room for doubt about this date. Cf. Cant., IV. 38, pp. 277-80; Greg., XXXIII. 67, p. 220, and XXVIII. 40-2, pp. 202-4; Villani, p. 105; Byz. Annalen, ed. Müller, in Sitzungs-Berichte der Wiener Akademie, ix. 392; Muralt, Chronographie Byz., ii. 643.
[226] This place figured in the recent Balkan War. It was here that the Osmanlis stationed their army for the defence of the Dardanelles.
