I Could easily beleeve, that the ten Tribes as they increased in number, so they spread into more Provinces before-mentioned, and into _Tartary_. For _Abraham Ortelius_ in his Geography of the World, and Map of _Tartary_, he notes the place of the _Danites_ which he cals the Hord, which is the same which the Hebrew _Jerida_, signifying _A descent_. And lower, he mentions the Hord of _Naphtali_, possessed by _Peroza_ in the yeare 476. _Schikhardus_ in his Tarich or series of the Kings of _Persia_, amplifies the History of this War, where _ex lib. 4. of Agathias_, he thus saith, _A little after, when they were eased of that Plague_, (_sc._ 7. yeares drought) _in the time of the Emperour_ Zeno, Firuz _made a double warre with_ Naphtali, _in which at last he was destroyed. For first of all he was brought to the streights of places unknowne; who then sought for peace upon this condition (and obtained it) that he should sweare that he would never after provoke them; and that he should doe reverence to this Conquerour in token of subjection: which afterward by the counsell of the Magicians he performed craftily, for he bowed towards the Eastern Sun, that his owne people might thinke that he bowed rather to the Sun (after his Country custom) then to honour his Enemy. But he did not truly performe that first agreement, though confirmed by Letters Patents; who because he could not digest the disgrace of bowing to his Enemy, he prepared a new Army and went against them; but a second time he being entrapped by the badnesse of the Country, he lost his life; and many with him, in a Gulf which the_ Naphthalites _had prepared for him, having dressed it over with reeds, and some earth throwne a top; they having left in the middle some high grounds, and trees where their Scouts were, that their stratagem might not be found, and that the_ Persians _might more confidently attempt the ditch. Thus a rash King paid for his perfidy, he excelling more in daring, then in counsell, as_ Agathias _saith. The patent by which peace had been agreed, was hung upon a speare, and might be seene of him at distance, that he might remember his Oath, repent, and desist from his enterprise; but he cared little for that. But when by his unexpected fall he saw he should dye, it is said that he pulled off from his right eare a pearle of huge bignesse, and whitenesse, and least any after him should finde it (more likely that his corps should not be knowne) he threw it a great way off._ The same Author askes, who those _Naphthalites_ were, and by many arguments he proves that they are the relicks of the _Jewes_; saith he, _I doe wholly thinke that they are the relicks of the_ Jewes _of the Tribe of_ Naphtali, _whom_ Triglath Pilesser _the_ Assyrian _carried into those places, in_ 2 King. 15.29. _For_ 1. _The name, in the best copies of_ Agathias, _which_ Lewenclavius _hath mended, is the same fully; in other Bookes it wants
