Not illustrated. 1805 Excerpt: ...and Ptolemy reckon six. The names assigned by Pliny are, 1. Spireostoma; 2. Boreostoma; 3. Pseudostoma; 4. Calostoma; 5. Naracostoma; 6. Peuce. Pliny says, that the fifth mouth was so called, " a congelatis et stupidis piscibus, quarum ibi magna copia "reperitur." The sixth mouth is probably so called from the pinetrees, which grow plentifully on all the sides of the Euxine sea. The names given by Ptolemy agree nearly with those of Pliny. Arrian makes this distance to be only 280 stadia, a wide difference from the computation of Ptolemy. Arrowsmith's chart, and that of Laurie and Whittle, make only four mouths of the Danube; but Faden's map makes them to be five, one of them a branch of one of the other mouths, and which I suppose to be the one called (probably from that circumstance) Pseudostoma, by Pliny and Ptolemy. Distance according to Arrowsmith's chart, From the first mouth (Kilia Bogasi) to the se-1 jQ, cond, called Sulina Bogasi, ' From the second to the third, Ghiurcheri, .... 17' From the third to the fourth, Vizi Bogasi, 7' 3o" 40' 30" Equal to 47 English miles, or about 409 stadia. Laurie and Whittle's chart varies but little, and these calculations are a kind of mean between those of Arrian and of Ptolemy. It is poflible that the river may have changed its course, and some of the mouths be blocked up, or choaked with soil and sand, brought down by the current. The fifth mouth of Arrian is the same with the sixth of Pliny and of Ptolemy. Strabo makes seven mouths, and about 300 stadia, or about 375 Greek miles, or 34i English miles from the first to the seventh. He reckons the order of them in an opposite direction to Arrian, as he counts the most southerly to be the first. From the fifth mouth to the city of Istria 500 s...
