[Footnote 46: Jadera, now Zara, was a Roman colony, which
acknowledged Augustus for its parent. It is now only two
miles round, and contains five or six thousand inhabitants;
but the fortifications are strong, and it is joined to the
main land by a bridge. See the travels of the two
companions, Spon and Wheeler, (Voyage de Dalmatie, de Grece,
&c., tom. i. p. 64 - 70. Journey into Greece, p. 8 - 14;)
the last of whom, by mistaking Sestertia for Sestertii,
values an arch with statues and columns at twelve pounds.
If, in his time, there were no trees near Zara, the
cherry-trees were not yet planted which produce our
incomparable marasquin.]
