The same gentleman shewed me also the cathedral church of this place,
entertained me with the music of the organ, and presented me with a book
called _Breviculus de nationibus Transylvanicis_. Another on the same
subject was given me the day before by the _rector scholae Cibiniensis_,
which place with the adjoining library I then visited. This night I
likewise returned a visit to the reverend _Isaacus Zabanius, primarius
pastor Cibiniensis, et ecclesiae cathedralis decanus_, by whom and his
wife I was kindly entertained above three hours. He then gave me an
Answer, which he had formerly compiled, to _Campiani Rationes decem_.

adjoining river, after which they all took a cordial leave; especially
lieutenant colonel _Graven_, to whom his Excellency presented a diamond
ring. We now proceed in our way, at which time I received an obliging
letter from Mr. Dunster, with an account of my successor’s arrival at
_Smyrna_ upon the seventeenth of _April_.
