To Valens, the elder Theodosius succeeded in the Eastern Empire: who took away ithe Consular Hellespont from the jurisdiction of the Vicarius of the Asian Diocese, and put it under the command of the Proconsul of Asia. Which state of the then Proconsular or proper Asia that Greek Geographer might seem to have respected; who beginneth his enumeration of the XLVIII. Provinces of the continent of Asia, with Pontus and Bithynia. Asia properly so called. Great Phrygia. Lycia and Caria. Galatia, &c. as we have it presented unto us by that most curious searcher of all such kind of rarities, kClaudius Salmasius. Wherein it is observable, that Hellespont, Aeolis, Jonia and Lydia are included in, aswell as the greater Phrygia and Caria are excluded from the Asia then properly so called. Whence that new addition of Hellespont being put aside; the remain will prove to be the same with that which a little before was styled by Eunapius, the Asia now properly so called.
