22. Claudian (in Eutrop. 1. ii. 237-250) very accurately
observes that the ancient name and nation of the Phrygians
extended very far on every side, till their limits were
contracted by the colonies of the Bithynians of Thrace, of
the Greeks, and at last of the Gauls. His description (ii.
257-272) of the fertility of Phrygia, and of the four rivers
that produced gold, is just and picturesque.
