52 laid down by Arrian. The Peutingerian Tables count from the Chariens to Sicanabis 35 miles, or 280 tadia. From the Singamis to Tarfuras 120 tadia. The Peutingerian Tables make this ditance to be 16 miles, or only eight itadia more than it is reckoned by Arrian. From Tarfuras to Hippus 150 Itadia. From Hippus to Atelephus 30 tadia. From Atelephus to Sebatopolis 120 tadia. This place was, in early times, called Diocurias from the Diocuri (Cator and Pollux), who were reported to have founded it. It has now recovered its ancient name, although much corrupted, being called by the Turks Ikouriah, or Iagour, although the Greeks, I believe, retain the modern name of Sevatopoli. It is placed by Ptolemy in Latitude 44° 45′ N. and Long. E. 72° 20′. By the Ruian map the latitude is 43° 27′ 30″, and by Arrowmith's Chart 43° 18′. Longitude by the Ruian Map, 57° 56′; by Arrowfmith, 58° 21′ 50″. It is reckoned by Arrian to be 2260 tadia, equal to 282 Greek miles, or 258.68 Englih, ditant from Trapezus. Pliny ays, that it is 100 miles ditant from the Phais, which agrees nearly with Arrian, who reckons this interval at 810 tadia, equal to 101 Greek miles and a quarter. The medium ditance in two modern maps is 96 Englih miles, equal to 838 tadia, or three Greek miles and a half more than Arrian's calculation.

Arrian, having enumerated the rivers, by which he paed, proceeds to peak of the inhabitants of the country. His account of
