mentioned1 tooke theire leave of my Lord and Gentlemen,
and returned to Constantinople. Wee likewise departed
from Ponto grande. Passinge by Camburgas (6 miles)2,
wee came to Selibrea (n miles)3, a Seatowne, neere which
wee pitched for that Night.
The gth. May, 1620. Wee came to Choorloo (20 miles)4,
1 i.e. Messrs Greene, Abbott, Gwilliams, Lowe, Smith, Wyche, and
Salter. They were all probably " Turkey Merchants," residing at
Pera. See note 3 on p. 15.
2 The modern Kumburgas. Compare Covel, Early Voyages in
the Levant, p. 179, "About half way to Selibria we go by a little
ruinated town, just in the very sea, the road lying upon the sand ;
the town stands to the right hand, in Turkish Koomburgas, or sand-
burough...there hath been formerly a little castle or fort there."
Poullet calls the place Congerba:—" Une personne de consideration
...nous protegea de sa compagnie, et nous conduisit jusqu'a Congerba."
Nouvelles Relations du Levant, vol. i. p. 203. In a map of 1822
(B.M., S. 205) it appears as Coumbourgaz or Couzomion.
Compare also Pococke, A Description of tlie East (Pinkerton's
Voyages, vol. x. p. 732), "Ten miles further [beyond the 'Great
Bridge'] is a village on the sea called Camourgat."
3 The modern Silivri. Compare the stages in "The Journey of
Edward Barton, Esquire, her Majesties Ambassador with the Grand
Signior....Written by Sir Thomas Glover, etc." in Purchas His
Pilgrimes, Book viii. ch. 9, p. 1355 f. (Barton made the journey
from Constantinople to Belgrade in 1596 and followed Mundy's
route to Selibria), "The second day of July, 1596, the said Am-
bassador parted his house (which is in the Vines of Pera) and took
his journey...unto a place called Aquadulce [the Fresh Rivers]...we...
came to Ponte Piccolo...some fifteene miles distant from Aquadulce...
parted thence...arrived at Ponte Grande, which is about twelve miles
distant...we parted Ponte Grande, and by Sun-rising wee came to a
small village called Combergassi...parted thence, and came to a Towne,
called Celebria...some ten miles distant from our last Lodging."
Compare also Poullet, Nouvelles Relations du Levant, vol. i. p. 203,
" Les restes d'une petite Ville, appelee Celivree, qui a son Port comble"
et poste en un lieu fort avantageux."
See Blount, A Voyage into the Leva?it, ed. 1638, p. 23, for "Burgaz,
Churlo" and " Selibree." The passage is quoted in Appendix A.

A Desc?-iption of the East (Pinkerton's Voyages, vol. x. p. 732).
Clarke, Travels, vol. iv. p. 540, remarks, "From Buyuk Tchekmadje
to Selivria was like travelling over the steppes of Russia," and, p. 542,
" Selivria...is surrounded by vineyards....The harbour is good."

p. i8of., and Bargrave's account, quoted at the end of Appe?idix F.
