The Saracens came firft into Afia, and the Turks afterwards, who deftroy'd the other; and there were two great Families of them, the Zulzuccian and the Oguzian. The Tartars, in 1202, deftroy'd the Zelzuccians in Perfia; and Solomon, who was the head of the Oguzian, fled from Perfia alfo, and was the original of all the Ottomans, who in time destroy'd the other Family.

His Generation fhall be destroy'd by the Generation of those whofe Generation he would have destroy'd.

Note, The Zelzuccian would have deftroy'd the Oguzian, when Ottoman began his reign, but this in time prevail'd over the Caramanian Kingdom, which is the Root here mention'd to be left.

But they left one Root [the Caramanian Kingdom] which shall be destroy'd by War; and that shall cut off the Father of the Royal Stock, a Warriour, and he fhall plant another Plant near the ten Horns; but as The Tartars foon as he hath taken care of Ida, which fall Kingdoin conquer'd the was utterly destroy'd, then he fhall perish in Afia minor ̧ by the Sons of them who confpire in the and made them fame Fate of War, and then the Horn planted near the ten fhall reign.

These were of the Zelzuccian Family: Tangrolopix, who conquer'd Perfia, Cutlumufes fettled in Afia minor, Meleck and Ducas in Damafcus, Aleppo, Syria; all these were in time conquer'd by the Tartars and Ottomans.

The Turks are here defcrib'd to conquer Phrygia, and they are the little Horn, or Antichrift; they were originally Scythian Herdímen, and are represented by the fmall Horns of Sheep. This is the fecond Beast in the Revelations, chap. 13.

Note, That about the Year 1300, when the Ottoman Kingdom began, there was a Comet, and the greatest Earthquake that ever happen'd. See Platina.

The fad Calamities of the Pamphylian War fhall then happen, and then shall be spilt the noble Blood of the old Aneada; and they shall again be made a Prey to Men in love. O Ilium! I pity thee, for in Sparta a Fury fhall flourish, as a Plant beautiful and famous, and fhall occafion various Tumults in the Countries of Europe and Asia, but chiefly to thee he fhall bring Mournings, and Sighs, and Labour; and he fhall have everlasting Fame amongst Posterity.

Note, That the Governour's Daughter of Alydus fell in love with Abdarachmen, a Turk, and betray'd that Caftle to him, in the time of Orchanes, Son of Ottoman, who took Nice, Prufa, Nicomedia, and Gallipollis in Thrace, Anno 1358.

In 1472 Mocenicus, the Venetian Admiral, plunder'd Lesbos, and the Coafts about Pergamum, and fo return'd to Peleponnefus; he then plunder'd the Coafts of Caria and Pamphylia, and burnt Smyrna; and the Venetians are the Egregium Germen here mention'd."

Note, That this was fome Chriftian Poet, who writ the Wars betwixt the Chriftians and Turks, and attributed all Success to the Saints and Virgin Mary; but because he is mistaken by vulgar Readers for Homer, it is commonly believ'd that Homer ftole fome Verses from the Sibyls.

And the Progeny of the Locrians fhall do much Mischief to Lycia; and the People of Ætolia fhall come to Chalcedon, and depopulate it, being feated on the narrow Paffage of the Sea.

And the Sea (or Pontus) fhall destroy thy Riches, O Cyzicus! Thou, Byzantium, A Town in Myfia. fhalt encourage the Wars in Afia, for which thou shalt be rewarded with Sighs and much Blood.
