whoro, till I ein sind out what Place, is meant by OAOr€ClAAA, I rrmfr-'remain Ignorant. I am Unwilling ro entertain any thoughrs of Getia in-Macedonia, or of Olgafjus , a Place raention’d by Strabo in bitfynia, whichcomes a little ncarer the Name : being both so Remote, and ihe City o£Tadmcr so ist contriv’d for a PJaceof Trude, being far. from the Sea, andwithout the Advantage of any River. Ytt- the magntfietnee of the Phce,Ihews they have not wanted Riches among thetc : And their Salt is a Com-modity<which still bringstbem in a Confiderable Advantage. The order ofthe Nunteral Letten you May takc notiee is again Inverted ; but takingthem the Right way, the Year 558. falls in with the last Year oiAlexanderSeverus , which is of cur Lord 134.

What Isurther observ'd particularly in this, was the want of the Name astetIOTAIOT, and took not ce of the likc Space Vacant in the other Languageunder it: and in both Places it fecm’d to be not Worn out with 'Time,but Volunrarily Scratcht out: Which Confirms me in the Opinion thatthey ate both one, and that the Uvknovsn was the Vulgär , as the Grttk ,wasthe Learned Languagt of the Place.
