the Ocean and almost extreme in temperature But ouer against them wher the Blemij inhabite there riseth an hill whereout Nilus runneth and so foorth procéedyng eastward toward the Aethiopes is termed of them Syrus Afterward running into Egypte when it is come to the citie Syena is first called Nilus by the inhabitants there From thence it rūneth into the north and at length diuideth it selfe into many partes and floweth into the sea with seuen streames ouerflowing al Egypt by the waye and replenishing it with greate and wonderfull fertilitie And truely there is no one riuer in that part of the world comparable with that eyther in widenesse plentie of water or other cōmodities This same is the boūd whiche parteth halfe Affrike from Asie leauing Affrike on the southe syde and Asie on the Easte This is the same Egypt which hath always brought forth notable men of sundrie and incomparable wits For as antiquitic doth recorde the Egyptians were the firste men and they first prescribed the fourme and discipline of life and manners who first also found out the vse of the plough plowing of the lande and sowing of the séede The same were they whiche firste tooke the measure of Heauen with an instrument and inuented the oblyque course of the Sunne and Moone in the Zodiacke and whiche firste founde out this knowledge of Cosmographi● whereby the countrie hath deserued no smal commendation Besides all this there is no lande whiche surpasseth it in plentie of all things eyther in aboundance of herbage and corne or in greatnesse or beautie of building The fourme whereof is caused by the lying of the sides for it is br●●de and wyde towardes the Northe but narower in the East butteth forth ●●opewise to the Syenes and intrenched wyth two hilles betwéene whome Nylus runneth This is the

sayde that Memnon the wyse king was went to salute his mother Aurora Which nourisheth also them whiche inhabited the Inlande Heptapolis and those which do dwell on the coast of the south sea toward the marish Serbonis where on the west lyeth the most famous citie sometyme founded by Alexander king of Macedoma called Alexandria And where that wōderful temple of Iupiter of Sinopita ▪ standeth ▪ much spoken of and hery ●●●●ou●●y builded with m●●● preci●●se metals of al kinds Touching this citie it is constantly adnouched that there is none in the earth of more excellencie none more worthy

Europe whiche differeth not muche in forme from Libya but that it bendeth a litle to the north and likewise retourneth againe and ioyneth to the ende of South Libya and butte bothe in one ●●nner sorte on Asie the one reaching foorthe to the extreame parte of the North the other to the South But to speake more plainly howe it lyeth it is so that at the head it séemeth sharpe poynted lyke the pointe of a triangle waxing alwayes narrower towards the West and encreasing in widnesse much in the East By vnderstanding whereof we shall y better perceyue what bounds it hath howe farre they stretche and what dominions and countries it cōte●neth Wherefore I will begin at the ●●per side which reacheth forth to Hercules pillers where firste of all the Hiberi dwell a people very proude high minded Nexte towards the Northe are the Britannes then the Germanes whose bodyes are white and faire and naturally giuen to warres possessing the countrye nexte to the forest Equinus And not farre off Boia appeareth both large and wyde so called of the lykenesse it hathe to an Oxe hyde So tourning to the mounts Pirrhenaei towards the floud Eridanus the Celtae inhabite where as fables testifye the sisters Heliades beeing oppressed with immoderate sorowe for the death of their brother Phaeton continued so long in wéeping that so con●i●●●ed with heauinesse they were all conuerted into a precious kynde of A●●er trées still sheading teares Which ●●ares are often and diligently wyped away by the Celtae there dwelling and are turned into Amber lyke Golde and a● harde as a stone After ensueth Tyrrhenia at the Northe syde whereof the Alpes begin to arise forth whereof the Rhyne a greate and large streame issueth But before that I passe to Tyrrhenia I muste fyrste speake of the ryuer Rhenus or the Rhyne whether he passeth to the boundes of Europe The Rhyne therefore rysing as we haue sayde oute of the Alpes fyrste seuereth the Celtae from the Germans and runneth into the Northerne Oceane with a large chanell But before that he come ●ighe the Sea out of his springs he engendreth the riuer Ister amōg the Sueui which maketh all that cuntrie nauigable for trafike of marchandise This riuer
