The like befell to the Atarmitaneare to Pcrgamus. The Perfians burnt the Temple o(PaUm at Phocea, and an other of /**• in Samos, the remaines whereof are wonhy admiration i the Erythrxan Temple of ^ww/r/, andof P-iAm at Prieni; that for the antiquitie, this for the linage. The Image oWerctiUs is faid to be brought in a (hip which came (without mans help) to the Cape, where the Chians & Erythri. ans laboured each to bring the fame to their owne C itty . But one 'Phormio a Fiflicr* man ofErvthrza was w arned in a dreams, to make a rope of the haire cut off from the heads ofthe Erythraean Matrons , by which their husbands fliould draw the fame in- to their towne. The women would not yeeld ; but certaineThracian women which had obtained their freedome, graunted their haire to thispurpofe ,to whom therefore this priuiledgc was graunted, to enter into Hrrf*/« Temple, a thing denied to all o- ther the Dames of Ery thrsa. The rope ftill remaincth : and the Fiflietman which be* fore was blinde, recoucred his fight. In this Towne alfo is ^/m*/tw Temple, and therein a huge Image of wood,fitting on a throne, holding with both hands a diftaffe. There are the gr4cts, and MoHrts, formed of \\ hite Marble.

At Miletus, a niadde phrenfie had once pofTcflcd their Virgins,w hereby it came to pafTc, that they in great multitudes hanged thcmfelues.

For a Law was made. That the naked bodies of fuch as thus had ftrangled themfelucs, (hould be drawnc through the ftrectes : which contumely, though it were but a Gnat to thofe Camels, which with the halter they fvvallowed, yet ftrauied they at it, and it could it not be digefted.but (layed their fury. Before the Troian war,was Hereules fa- mous at Miletus. The lonians were fubied to the AfTyrians : after that to the Egypti- ans : next to the Lydians, Per(ians,& the other Empires,which fuccefTiucly followed.
