Historical Description
Georgia: this Countrey is now call'd Mengrelia Georgia; is bounded on the East, with the Caspian Sea; West, with Colchis; North, with the Tartars of Astracham; and South, with the greater Armenia.
In this Countrey is a thing monstrous and wonderfull; for in it there is a Province called Hamsem, containing in circuit three dayes journey; and so far is it covered with an obscure darkness, that none can see any thing, nor dare enter into it: the Inhabitants thereabouts affirm, that they have often heard the voice of Men howling, Cocks crowing, neighing of Horses; and by the passage of a River it appears to have signs of habitation. This Province was formerly called Iberia: the chief Towns of it are, 1. Lori. 2. Bascapan. 3. Teflis, exceeding well fortified by the Turks. 4. Tomanis. For the greater part this Countrey is covered with mountains, woods, and thickets; it is notwithstanding fertile, and adorn'd with many large plains and valleys.
