A RELATION OF the taking of the Hauen and fortresse of SELEVCIA called AGLIMAN in CARAMANIA and of two Generall Gallies and other ships of the TVRKES THe great Duke Cosmo the second heire of the valour and glorie of his most princely Ancestors as well as of their faire and flourishing States in Tuscanie knowing in himselfe hee had as great an inclination and as much obligation towards all high great attempts in generall and particularly those that were for the sea as he saw himselfe left with few occasions and little meanes for the same hauing beene preuented therein by the ambitious valour of his father Ferdinando which seemed to haue left after him nothing of any possibilitie or such as was full of extreme difficulties hee seeing that I say fell not a crying with that Alexander which first got himselfe the name of Great but rather the more mooued with laudable emulation endeuoureth himselfe daily to follow the victories of his father and if possible be to raise them vp to the top of all perfection For this effect being resolued to giue ouer those flyings on the sea and vtterly transported to the faire enterprises by land after hee had made a most curious fearch and examination of the fairest and hardest among them the first he iudged worthy of himselfe was this of Agliman a fortresse of Caramania or Cilicia a Country indeed which in old time hath had two most famous Cities Tarsus the Metropolitan thereof and S. Pauls country and Seleucia with the port and hauen thereof now adaies called Agliman from thence sailed out armies for sea the most strange and formidable that euer were heard of Historie tels vs that the Pyrates which heeretofore there assembled did set out together sometimes more than a thousand great ships so sumptuously furnished that many had their sailes of purple the roapes and gables of gold and the oares set with siluer that by their inrodes and scourings they had spoiled and ruinated aboue foure hundred townes and broken and marred all the trading and commerce thorowout the Mediterranean sea so that proud Rome did acknowledge by them she was not vnuincible as she thought and was forced then to set out against them that great Nauie whereof Pompeius the great was Admirall This great Duke then aspired to the same place on the which formerly Pompeius deseigned his great enterprise And though this noble obiect was more than sufficient to mooue his spirit yet the Christian zeale and pietie was his chiefest and most regarded motiue For vpon the walles of the same fortresse were set vp the heads of fortie worthie and braue subiects of his cruelly slaine when the ship Prospera was lost by the stubborne ignorance of the Captaine which being drowned in the same did escape the exemplarie punishment he deserued This horrible trophey which the Turkes had thus erected to their pride still kept a flea in the eare as the prouerbe is of this great Duke more than the victories of Miltiades in the head of Themistocles And such a pitifull pawne miserably staked vp there touched his heart to the quicke more than euer was touched the heart of that famous The bane for the losse of his shield The Agah of the place did foresee it very well which many times endeuoured himselfe so to deale at Constantinople that these heads might be taken away assuring that they could auaile to no other purpose but as baits or spurres to the great Duke to enterprise the ruine of that place Now then such hath been the enterprise which this yeere amongst many others giuen in charge according to the custome vnto the Admirall Ingherrammi did segnalize ennoble the fame of the great Duke The Gallies haue beene these six the Capitana the Padrona the S.
