The North Dene
Have To The North That Arm Of The Sea Which Is Called The East Sea, And To
The East Is The Nation Of The Osti[55], And The Afdrede, Or Obotrites, To
The South.
The Osti have to the north of them that same arm of the sea, or
the Baltic, and so have the Winedas and the Burgendas[56].
Still more to
the south is Haefeldan[57]. The Burgendas have this same arm of the sea to
the west, and the Sweon[58] to the north. To the east are the Sermende, to
the south the Surfe[59]. The Sweons have to the south the arm of the sea
called Ost, and to the north, over the wastes, is Cwenland[60], to
the north-west are the Scride-finnas[61], and the North-men[62] are to the
west[63].
Sec. 10. We shall now speak of Greca-land or Greece, which lies south of the
Danube. The Proponditis, or sea called Propontis, is eastward of
Constantinople; to the north of that city, an arm of the sea issues from
the Euxine, and flows westwards; to the north-west the mouths
of the Danube empty themselves into the south-east part of the Euxine[64].
To the south and west of these mouths are the Maesi, a Greek nation; to the
west are the Traci or Thracians, and to the east the Macedonians. To the
south, on the southern arm of the Egean sea, are Athens and Corinth, and to
the south-west of Corinth is Achaia, near the Mediterranean.
