Note 8 — II. HELLENISM IN ASIA MINOR
Carroll N. (Carroll Neidé) Brown translation
A much earlier and well-known English traveler calls Smyrna “the lovely, the crown of Ionia, the ornament of Asia.” (See Travels in Asia Minor and Greece, by Richard Chandler, ed. N. Revett, vol. I., p. 73, ed. 1825.)
