have it but Ilii s Some do think that the Emperour Iustinian did take away Hellespont from the government of the Proconsul of Asia and joyned it with Pontus Polemoniacus But that errour arose from the old Latin translation of the XXth Novell of Justinian t Hellespontus being therein put for Helenopontus in the Pontican diocese as appeareth not only by the Greek text and u Iulians Latin Epitome thereof but also by the Latin it selfe acknowledging afterwards that this mutation was made in Galatia and the Pontican not the Asian diocese and by the XXVIIIth Novell most evidently Though sure it is that x he took from the Lievtenant or Vicarius the government of the Asian diocese and confined him within the limits of Phrygia Pacatiana whereof he constituted him Count or Comes By that which in the second chapter hath been delivered it appeareth that under the first Emperours there were many metropoliticall cities within one Province and some chosen out of them wherein Courts of justice were erected unto which the next adjoyning circuits might upon all occasions have recourse Whereupon those contentions afterwards did arise betwixt the cities of the Proconsular Asia touching each ones dignitie and precedency for the composing whereof Aristides made that Oration of concord unto them which is still extant Wherein yet the common desire of all the Asians accorded in this y that the Proconsul at his first comming into the province should passe into Asia by sea and among the other Metropoles first arrive at Ephesus as by the Rescript of the Emperour Antoninus vouched by Ulpian in his first book of the Proconsuls office most manifestly appeareth But in the disposition of the Empire made by Constantine it was ordered that in every Province there should be but one chiefe city held for the Metropolis and that unto it l all the Provincials should resort for the administration of publike justice Whereupon Ephesus being by the former Imperiall Constitution grounded upon the joincte consent of the Asians themselves z preferred before all the rest as being the ordinary place of the convention of the Common Councell and it self held to be a the common treasury of Asia was appointed to be the sole Metropolis of this new Proconsular Asia and withall retained the preeminence which formerly it had above all the cities of the old Whereof we may see the testimonies aswell of b Chrysostom and others of the ancient who wrote upon the Epistle of S Paul to the Ephesians as of the Emperour c Theodosius in the letters wherby he summoneth Dioscorus and other Bishops to appeare at the second Councell at Ephesus assembled by him in the yeare of our Lord CCCCXLIX Whence he that wrote the book of the places mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles falsly fathered upon S. Hierom saying that d where the city of Ephesus is there is the Asia specially so called may seem to have meant no other thing thereby but that the province which had Ephesus for it's Metropolis was that which had the name of Asia in a singular manner appropriated unto it if therein he looked any further then to the baâ—e words of the text wherein it is said that Paul e continuing at Ephesus by the space of two years all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord and that afterward f he determined to sayle by Ephesus because he would not spend the time in Asia and thereupon sending for the Eldeâ—s of the Church of Ephesus he said unto them Ye know from the fiâ—st day that I came into Asia after what manner I have beene with you at all seasons Out of all which it was no hard matter for him to gather at large as g Erasmus did after him that Asia in the new Testament denoteth that part of Asia minor in which Ephesus standeth It is here also further to be noted that as in the state of the civill government the jurisdiction of the annuall Presidents by Aristides styled h Bishops was extended unto all the cities that were contained within the limits of their severall provinces and when but one Metropolis was appointed unto every province wherein the Governour was to keep his ordinary residence the Provinciall Presidents had from thence the appellation of {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} or Mâ—tropolitan Judges as at the end of the first Novell of Justinian the * old Latin Interpreter rendrâ—th it so in the Eastern empire especially the Ecclesiasticall râ—giment was herein conformed unto the civill there being but one Metropolitan Bishop setled in every Province unto whom the Bishops of all the rest of the cities were subordinated By which meanes it came to passe that of the seven Churches in Asia spoken of in the book of the Revelation Ephesus alone in the dayes of Constantine had the Metropoliticall dignitie left unto it Then after the dayes of Valens the Emperour the inland Lydia being separated from Asia the Bishop of Sardis which had been the i ancient seat of the Lydian Kings became the Metropolitan of that province the sees of Philadelphia and * Thyatira being made subject to him as Smyrna and Pergamus were to the Bishop of Ephesus There remained then of the seven only Laodicea which got the honour of being the Metropolis of Phrygia Pacatiana as we read in the Greek subscription of the first epistle unto Timothy the §. latenesse whereof is thence rightly collected by the learned k Cujaicus For as the distinction of Phâ—ygia Pacatiana and Salutaris is no where to be found before the distribution of the provinces made by Constantine so at that time also when but one Metropolis was allotted unto every Province it is a question whether of those two * prime cities that were so neaâ—e together Hierapolis which without all controversie was acknowledged to belong unto Phrygia was not rather chosen to be the mother city therein then Laodicea which by reason of the doubtfull situation thereof as we have heard was indifferently challenged to appertaine unto Phrygia Caria and Lydia In the dayes of the succeeding Emperours indeed l who yielded so farr to the ambition of some Bishops that they were content there should be two Metropolitans in one Province both these cities were accounted for the Metropoles of Phrygia Pacatiana which is the cause why in the fourth generall Councell assembled at Chalcedon aswell m Nunechius Bishop of the Metropolis of Laodicea as Stephen Bishop of the Metropolis of Hierapolis do subscribe for themselvs and the absent Bishops which were under them as also in the fifth general Councell held at Constantinople there is mention made at the same time of n Iohn Bishop of the Metropolis of the Laodiceans and Auxanon Bishop of the Metropolis of the Hierapolitans in the sixth of Tiberius Bishop of the Laodiceans and Sisinnius of the Hierapolitans either of

and Parium are by Paulus the Lawyer particularly noted to have beene seated in the province Asia And this is it indeed which Ptolemy proposeth unto us as that which was accounted i the Asia properly so called in the dayes of Antoninus Pius who himselfe as k Proconsul had sometime l governed this province Where in the Breviat of the first Table of Asia it is not to be passed by that mention is made of m Asia properly so called wherein was Phrygia For howsoever that were no part either of Agrippa's Asia from whence by n Solinus it is excluded or yet of the Lydian Asia from which in o the Acts of the Apostles as also in p the Letters of the Church of Vienna and Lions and q Tertullians booke against Praxeas it is clearly distinguished yet Hierapolis the chiefe city thereof by r Polycrates and s Vlpian and Iulius Africanus as farre as we have him in t Eusebius his Chronicle is placed in Asia as being contained within the limits assigned by Strabo to the Proconsular Asia as it stood in the time of Augustus and the heathen Emperours after him But in the dayes of Constantine and the Christian Emperours that succeeded him the circuit thereof was much abbridged and a distinction brought in betwixt the Proconsular Asia and the Asian Diocese the one being put under the command of the Proconsul of Asia the other under the government of the Vicarius of Asia or the Asian Diocese for so in the Imperiall Constitutions is he indifferently nominated Thus in the CCCLXV yeare of our Lord two Rescripts were given out by the Emperour Valens the one u dated the 27th of January in the latter end of the first yeare of his raigne to Clearchus the Vicarius Asiae the other x the 6th of October following unto his successor Auxonius under the style of Vicarius dioeceseos Asianae This Auxonius y some doe imagine to be the same with Ausonius the Poët without all ground of authority or reason removing him out of the Western into the Eastern empire But of his predecessor we are sure that he is the same Clearchus whom Eunapius mentioneth to have been in his time preferred unto this government before he was by Valens promoted afterwards unto the Proconsulship of the other Asia Concerning this first preferment of his he declareth that he was made z governour of all that Asia the jurisdiction whereof did extend from Hellespont through Lydia and Pisidia unto Pamphylia which is as much to say if my second thoughts doe not here deceive me as that it contained in it the Consular Hellespont and Phrygia Salutaris adjoyning thereunto together with Phrygia Pacatiana descending from thence downeward by Lydia on the west-side and Pisidia on the east unto Pamphylia For howsoever in the alterations that followed this as we shall heare anone the greater part of the in-land Lydia was brought under this Vicarian regiment as not Pisidia and Pamphylia only but Lycaonia Lycia and Caria also were yet that in Clearchus his time this part of Lydia was parcell of the Proconsular Asia is sufficiently intimated by Eunapius extending it unto Tmolus a a mountaine placed in the Eastern border of Lydia For touching the advancement of Clearchus unto the Proconsular government he writeth thus b Things prosperously succeeding Valens was wonderfully well pleased with Clearchus and was so farre from depriving him of his former charge that he advanced him unto a greater government appointing him to be Proconsul of Asia now properly so called This from Pergamus downewards taking the sea-coast into it toward the adjacent continent reacheth unto Caria the mountaine Tmolus circumscribing that of it which belongeth unto Lydia Of the governments it is the most honourable and is not subject to the Praefectus Praetorio saving that now by reason of these late commotions c all things are againe confounded and disturbed Where touching the limits of this Asia NOW properly so called it may be noted that as Galen in the place before alledged maketh the Hellespontian Mysia which in the old distâ—ibution of the Empire was within the precinct of the jurisdiction of the then Proconsular Asia to be conterminous unto Pergamus where he himselfe was borne so Eunapius from the same Pergamus beginneth the bounds of the now Proconsular Asia extending the length thereof from thence downeward unto Caria and the breadth from the Sea unto the mountaine Tmolus which is by Euripides in his Bacchae called {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} the fortresse of Lydia and on the side whereof Sardis a chiefe city of that province and Eunapius his owne countrey is not only by him but also by d Herodotus e Strabo and f Pliny how soever Ptolemyes Tables doe misplace it sufficiently proved to have beene situated that ridge of the mountaine on which Sardis was seated bounding that part of Lydia toward the East as we have said and the other tract thereof reaching from thence unto Hypaepa a city of lesse name within the same country as Ovid declareth in those verses g Nam freta prospiciens latè riget arduus alto Tmolus in ascensu clivoque extensus utroque Sardibus hinc illinc parvis finitur Hypaepis By which description it appeareth that this Proconsular Asia was little or nothing different from the Lydian Asia called Lydia not only by Herodotus and Scylax but also if I mistake not by h Constantius the Emperour himselfe To Valens the elder Theodosius succeeded in the Eastern Empire who took away i the Consular Hellespont from the jurisdiction of the Vicarius of the Asian Diocese and put it under the command of the Proconsul of Asia Which state of the then Proconsular or proper Asia that Greek Geographer might seeme to have respected who beginneth his enumeration of the XLVIII Provinces of the continent of Asia with Pontus and Bithynia Asia properly so called Great Phrygia Lycia and Caria Galatia c. as we have it presented unto us by that most curious searcher of all such kind of rarities k Claudius Salmasius Wherein it is observable that Hellespont Aeolis Ionia and Lydia are included in aswell as the greater Phrygia and Caria are excluded from the Asia then properly so called Whence that new addition of Hellespont being put aside the remaine will prove to be the same with that which a little before was styled by Eunapius the Asia now properly so called In the dayes of Arcadius the son and successor of the foresaid Theodosius this addition of Hellespont to the jurisdiction was much abated by the detraction of the maine inland part of Lydia from the body of the Proconsular Asia Which is the cause why l Palladius speaking of the Asian Synod of seventy Bishops held by Chrysostom in the CCCCII. yeare of our Lord doth separate the Bishops of Lydia from the Bishops of Asia for
as for the subscriptions of the first Councell of Nice both those which are found in some Latin books and those Greek ones that have beene lately published m out of Sambucus his copy they being quite dissonant the one from the other and having in both of them diverse manifest tokens of forgery and corruption doe deserve here no regard at all Yet in this distraction of Lydia from the Proconsular Asia it appeareth aswell by n the Civill and o Ecclesiasticall lists of the Provinces of the Easterne empire recorded by the Grecians as by the p subscriptions of the Councell of Chalcedon and other of the Eastern Synods that the Southerne part of Lydia lying betwixt the rivers of Maeander and Cayster which we noted to have beene attributed by Ptolemy unto Caria and wherein were the cities of Priene Magnesia Trallis and Nysa was still reserved unto Asia together with all that lay upon the sea-coast from Ephesus upward not only unto Pitane and the mouth of Caicus which we shewed to have beene a parcell of the Lydian Asia but also unto Assos and the promontory of Lectum which was possessed first by the Mysians then by the Lydians and lastly by the Aeolians for that this also at least wise from Antandrus downward was sometimes accounted as an appendant unto Lydia may be gathered partly from the words of g Scylax Caryandensis though here corrupted partly from the testimony of Xenophon who telleth us that he and his company r departing from Antandrus passed by the sea side of Lydia unto the playne of Thebe and through it unto Adramyttium compared with Strabo relating to the same purpose that the former s inhabitants of the playne of Thebe were the Lydians then called Meones and that t in his time the name of the Lydian gates was still preserved in Adramyttium as a memoriall of the building of that city by the Lydians Although yet by the authority of Galen and Eunapius we begin our Lydian Asia from the river Caïcus and Pergamus those other places of Atarna Thebe Adramyttium and Antandrus being by u Herodotus also referred to Mysia and not to Lydia To conclude therefore the various alterations of the limits of the Proconsular Asia as we have referred Ptolemies Asia properly so called to the Proconsular Asia as it was ordered by Augustus and Eunapius his Asia now properly so called to that which was by Constantine and the namelesse Geographers proper Asia to that which was by the elder Theodosius by the like reason also what Simplicius writeth in the dayes of Justinian touching x his Asia now so called and Symeon Metaphrastes long after him though concerning elder times wherein these provinces stood in a far different posture from that which he presenteth unto us y of the confluence of the inhabitants of Asia unto Abercius we may well suppose to have relation unto this last settlement which was made in the dayes of Arcadius and the younger Theodosius CHAP. IV. Of the Asian Diocese and the Metropolitan cities thereof with the Civill and Ecclesiasticall government setled therein A Diocese in the language of the times whereof we speake was a a circuit comprehending within it many provinces and the Asian Diocese in that sense sometimes taken more strictly as it was distinguished from the Proconsular Asia and the provinces subject to the jurisdiction of the Proconsul thereof and sometimes more largely as containing those Proconsular provinces also under it The former acception hath place in that Constitution of Theodosius the elder wheâ—e b the Proconsular Asia and the Asian Diocese are both nominated together and generally where ever the office of the Vicarius or c Comes for these two titles are used d to signifie the same dignitie of Asia or the Asian Diocese or e Region as Julianus Antecessor rendreth it is made mention of The latter when the Asian is rehearsed joinctly with other Dioceses of the Eastern Empire as in L. Si quis post hanc C. Ut nemo ad suum patrocin and L.

Action of the Councell of Chalcedon wherein though Theosebius Bishop of Ilium had put to his name yet Stephen the Metropolitan of the Ephesians among those absent Bishops that were under his jurisdiction doth nominate Rufinus Bishop not Timi as the Latin books
