Historical Description
Armenia hath on the East, Media, and the Caspian Sea; on the West, Euphrates, and the Euxine Sea; on the North, Tartary; and on the South, Mesopotamia, now Dierbechia.
This Countrey is very mountainous, which are reputed to be those parts of the Hills Taurus and Antitaurus, which are called Periadres, Scodrisci, and Amamus.
The People hereof are more famous for nothing, than their want of all things; stour, cruel, and warlike; maintaining themselves by hunting and stealing, as Men living in so barren a Soyl, that Husbandry were vain and foolish. They are generally good Archers; merry; careless of honour; desirous of ease; greatbodyed; comely and willing to be soothed. The Women tall, but homely; having Children commonly at ten years old; it is accounted a great credit unto them if they can please and be acceptable to such Guests as the Husbands bring in.
The whole Countrey is divided into three Provinces; 1. Colchis. 2. Georgia; and 3. Turcomania.
