sad efteds in those parts ; but attempting some time after, to break into
Auflria by Saint Godard, when the Imperial forces were in readinefc

Sene, Sone or Senia, a Village near the Danube, and remarkable place
for variety of Antiquities, where, by the help of the Byro or Judge ok
the Town, I met with divers Coins, and some of Gold, some Intaglid's,
and as they called it, a Heathen or R<man Key. Whereof I presented
some unto Petrus Lambecius, who shewed them unto the Emperor.
This place, being in the contribution Country to the hath been
little enquired into ; and therefore the Antiquities thereof were the
more welcome. Amongsl all the Inscriptions of Gruter, 1 find but one
or two of Senia. The People say, this place was formerly called Apo Ho-
ma, but without any good ground.
Passing from Raab to Dotis, St. Martinsberg offers it self to view; an
handsome Town, and strong Hold, upon the top of a high Hill, over-
looking all the Country. This is still in the Christians hands, though it
hath formerly been taken by the Turks, once in Amurath the third’s
time.
Dotis, Tata, or Theodata, about twelve Englifh miles from Gomora,
where there is a Castle With a Ditch about it, and also some Natural
Baths near it. It hath been often taken and retaken : Grass Zacki, a
Noble Hungarian, was then Governor , whole singular Civilities I
musf always acknowledge ; and indeed in these parts,I was at belt con-
tent in the company ofSouldiers, for they commanded all, and were
generous and free hearted Persons, and could commonly (peak either
Latine, HighdDutdg or Italian ; my company was the more accepta-
ble to them, because I had seen many parts of Europe before, which they
would much enquire aster.
But to return into the road again ; we parted from Comora, being
towed by a Saick of twenty four oars. The Hungarians rowing up-
on one side, and the Germans on the other, they saluted the Fortress
with two small Guns, which they carried at the head of the Saick, and
so we passed by Sene, Nefoiil, Rodwan, and came to Motch, the exadt
place of the Frontiers. Here we expected a Turkifh Convoy ; which
coming betimes in the morning, we made ready for them ; their Offi-
cers went firsl on shoar, then our Veyda or Veyuod with the Interpre-
ter, and chiefest of the company, both parties walking (lowly, and at
meeting gave hands to one another, then we delivered our Boat unto
the Turks, which they sastned to their Saick, and sent one ir to our Boat
to sleer it: and turning about, saluted the Christians with one Gun,
and then w ith eighteen Oars rowed down the Danube, we carrying
the Eagle in our Flag, they the Double Sword, Star, and Hals-
Moon.
The Turkifh Saick convoyed Us to Strigonium or Gran, and set our
Boat on shoar in the Town, and so left us • the Governor also took no
notice of us, either in hopes os a present, or some private interest ; but
an Aga, who came with four troops of Horse from Newhewfell, being.
