near to make it probable that this is the place meant by Arrian Scylax, as Well as Strabo, calls it the Sindic port.
From Sindica to Panticapæum 540 ſtadia. The diſtance on the modern maps is about 74 miles, or rather more than 640 ſtadia[1]. Panticapæum was the principal city of the Cimmerian Boſporus, on the European ſide, as Phanagoria was on the Aſiatic. It was a colony of the Milelians[2] , ſituated on an eminence, 20 ſtadia in compaſs, with a port and a citadel to the eaſtward. It was in early times a free city, but fell afterwards under the power of Mithridates. It ſeems however to have been a free city in the time of Arrian. The mouth of the Tanais, where it empties itſelf into the Black ſea, through the Palus Mæotis, forms the Cimmerian Boſporus, and in early times was counted to mark the boundary between Europe and Aiſa, as Arrian ſhews by his quotation from Æſchylus.
The whole diſtance from Dioſcurias to Panticapæum is, according to Arrian, 2890 ſtadia, equal to 331 Engliſh miles nearly. According to Arrowſmith's chart, the rectilinear diſtance is 251 Engliſh miles nearly, or about 2200 iiſadia. The map of the country between the Black ſea and the Caſpian makes it 236 miles, and Faden's map 243 Engliſh miles.
We now enter upon the European part of this voyage.
