That the tenth _Ward_ extended itself towards the North, and that it was situate in the third Valley, and on the East Side of it; as also on the Top of the _Promontory_, rising above the third Valley, is evident from the Author of the _Description of the Wards_, who writes, that the tenth _Ward_ is divided from the ninth by a broad Way; that it lies much more upon the Level; that ’tis in no part of it uneven, but near the Sea Shore; that ’tis of a proportionable Length and Breadth; and that it contains the Church of St. _Achatius_, the _Bagnio’s_ of _Constantine_, the House of _Placidia Augusta_, and many other fine Buildings. But I could not find, after the utmost Search and Enquiry, the Situation of any of them; so that I was obliged to have Recourse to the Authority of Historians who had wrote of these Matters; and in consulting them, I could not but take Notice of a Mistake in the Author _of the Description_, &c. who says, that this _Ward_ contain’d the _Bagnio’s_ of _Constantine_, whereas I cannot find, that _Constantine_ ever had any _Bagnio’s_ at _Constantinople_, but that _Constantius_ had. For _Sozomen_, speaking of those Persons, who, favouring St. _Chrysostom_ and his Doctrine, were expelled the City, says, _That perceiving the People to be furiously enraged against them, they did not assemble the next Day in the great Church, but celebrated the Holy Communion in a_ Bagnio, _which was called the_ Bagnio _of_ Constantius. Suidas _reports, that_ Elladius Alexandrinus _wrote a Description of the_ Bagnio’s _of_ Constantius, _in the Time of_ Theodosius _the_ Less. Socrates _relates, that_ Valens _the Emperor commanded the Walls of_ Chalcedon _to be taken down, and the Stones to be carried to_ Constantinople _to build a_ Bagnio, _which was to be called the_ Bagnio _of_ Constantius; and adds, _That in one of these Stones was cut a Prophecy, which had been hid for many Ages, but was then explained_, viz. _That when the City abounded with Water, a Wall would be of some Service to a_ Bagnio, _and that numberless Nations of the_ Barbarians, _should invade the Territories of the_ Romans, _make great Devastations there, but at last should be overcome_. The Prophecy, as described by _Socrates_, is as follows: _When tender Virgins shall in Circles dance Around the publick Cistern, and with Flowers Dress the capacious Vessel, when the Streets Shall be with fragrant Sweets, and Garlands crown’d, When rising Waters shall o’reflow its Top, And a Stone-Bason made to catch them in; A mighty Host, in shining Armour clad, A wild and warlike Race, shall come from far, And pass the rapid_ Danube’s _silver Streams_: Scythia, _and_ Mæsia’s _Lands unmeasurable Shall be despoiled by their All-conquering Sword: All_ Thrace _shall fear, the fatal Period’s come_.
