WHcn the florm of the Perfian war was allayed,the Gracians had their hands full at home. For their two chief Cities tAthens and Lacedemonia were at contention which of them fhould have thepreheminence, and with thefe (fome with one, fome with the other) all the other Cities fided. (\) The t/fthenians chief care was when they had ordered their affairs, to re-edify their walls which had been ruined by the Perfi- aitSj which by the induflry oilhemijtocles they accompli(hed) (do the I>fffef»««5 ayds, ilood it out with the fer. pans, who wcre,but the third year of the fame Olympiad, routed by the Athenians in a conflidt at Sea, and the next year after were purfucd by them to iWlr/»/^«, and bcfieged there. At laft, in the 81 Olympiad, (t) the tyEgjftians dcltrting the Athemans, ihcy were glad to come off upon equad terms : Inarus was executed foi his revolt, and iSgypt recovered. In the interim, the ieeds of difcord grew up fo by degrees be. cwixt the two Cities, chat at laft they fell from words to blows, by the continual provocation one of another. For the Aiheniau\ were fo taken with their own breeding and generofity, that being pufi: with pride j the great ones of them behaved ihemfelves not onely arrogantly, but injurioufly itifultedover their fellows; f« that many of them fied over to th« LacetlemmianSjAS faith (u) Ths. yS«#jirt the 79 Olympiad of his ^gingta.

Cymtn with a Navy under hi$ Command marched for Cjfrtts, and defeated the Barharim both by Land and Sea, and brought Artaxtrxes to compound for peace, than which nothing to tnis day redounded more to the honour of Greece, or to the drfparagement of the Perfians, For they were glad to accept peace upon chefe conditions, That they (hould not come within a dayes journey for a well-mounted horreman,of the Sea-fidc ;and thai they fliould not paife betwixt the Cyaneans and Chelidtnians in any long or beaked Ships,and that they lliouldfet free all the Cities of ^Afia Which they held, (y) This peace was concluded in the fourth year of ttic 82 Olympiad, as Diodorus reports. The very fame year Cyiww, as he lay at the Leaguer of Citium, fell (ick and dyed.

Thofe lying in the former Sca,are either the InfuU Latroaum^ or the Idands ot Robbers, and commonly called Latrones, they are two in number, a good diftance from the Moluccoes j which name, Magellane, who difcovered them, is faid to give them, be- caufe the Native Iflanders dole away his Cockboat. But faith one, when the 5/;4nf4r^s had once found out an ordinary paflage from the South Sea, towards the Molutcoes, they never ceafed to travail that way, and 4ifcover more and more, whereby they found out divers Iflmds not formerly known j as two, a good di- ftance from the Molutcoes ; which, becaufe they be inhabited by men who not unely (leal from each other, but pilfer away all they can from flrangers landing thereabouts; they are called infuU ' LMtronum, or the Iflands of Robbers.

Thofe in the Virgiv'un Sea, which is fo calledj C^i/^o;?, whofe water is fair, is the Ifljnd Guariztntai very fit for filliing.

S. Jutr.es or Ja^^o, was fo named of James de Falafco who built it ; botli ilicfc Towns being alio feated on the Northern flinar of the liland.

It is alfo faid to be divided into two pans ; whereof the N )rth hath moft plenty of Gold, and the South part of Corn, Fruit, and Cattle ; it abounds alfo in Filh, and they find very good Gayac.
