[Footnote 30: The observation of Philelphus is approved by
Cuspinian in the year 1508, (de Caesaribus, in Epilog. de
Militia Turcica, p. 697.) Marsigli proves, that the
effective armies of the Turks are much less numerous than
they appear. In the army that besieged Constantinople
Leonardus Chiensis reckons no more than 15,000 Janizaries.]
