14. Thevenot (Voyages au Levant, part i. l. i. c. 14)
contracts the measure to 125 small Greek miles. Belon
(Observations, l. ii. c. 1 ) gives a good description of the
Propontis, but contents himself with the vague expression of
one day and one night's sail. When Sandys (Travels. p. 21)
talks of 150 furlongs in length as well as breadth, we can
only suppose some mistake of the press in the text of that
judicious traveller.
