37. Priscus, p. 35, 36 [p. 143, 144, ed. Bonn]. Among the
hundred and eighty-two forts or castles of Thrace enumerated
by Procopius (de Aedificiis, 1. iv. c. xi. tom. ii. p. 92,
edit. Paris [tom. iii. p. 306, ed. Bonn]), there is one of
the name of 'Esimontou', whose position is doubtfully
marked, in the neighbourhood of Anchialus and the Euxine
Sea. The name and walls of Azimuntium might subsist till the
reign of Justinian; but the race of its brave defenders had
been carefully extirpated by the jealousy of the Roman
princes.
