[Footnote 42: Cantacuzene, though he relates the battle and
heroic flight of the younger Androcinus, (l. ii. c. 6, 7,
8,) dissembles by his silence the loss of Prusa, Nice, and
Nicomedia, which are fairly confessed by Nicephorus
Gregoras, (l. viii. 15, ix. 9, 13, xi. 6.) It appears that
Nice was taken by Orchan in 1330, and Nicomedia in 1339,
which are somewhat different from the Turkish dates.]
