We proceed three Hungarian miles to _Clausenburg_, the _Zeugma_ of the antients, by the Hungarians called _Kolosvar_, and in Latin _Claudiopolis_. Here Governor _Banti_ met my Lord half a mile out of the town, and treated him at diner; after which taking leave, he presented him with a set of six fine coach horses. It is a fair city with a broad and straight street; but still retains on the houses and churches the marks of a dreadful fire, which about five years since almost entirely consumed it. It is seated upon the first branch of the river _Samos_, and is entirely surrounded with an antient thick wall, on the inside of which I was shewn the two following inscriptions, the latter whereof has the characters beautifully cut. FORTVNAE AVG. V L P. MASCV LINVS VTE. EX SIGNIF. LEG. V. M. TE EC. COL. AP. PRO SA. SVA. TE. SVOR. PL D. M. M. AVREL ... PAPIA .. AVG. COL. N. AP[123]. VIXIT ANNIS LX AVRELIA BONA CONIVX MA RITO ER. H. CIENO ... VM[124] CV RAVIT The Unitarians, who are one of the sects received in Transylvania, have here established their principal seat. I conversed with one of them, _Stephanus Stanizlo_, professor of philosophy, with whom I visited their _plebanus_, or chief pastor, and saw their church and college. I likewise visited the Calvinist pastor, as also their church and college, where I saw _M. B. Nemethi_ their professor of philosophy, _Sam. Nemethi_ the divinity professor being absent. In several public places of the city I observed antient dates of time, particularly over one of the gates, where the year was marked, with these characters, [Illustration] that is 1477; and over the Unitarian college thus, [Illustration], which is 1476[125]. Here Count _Bethlen’s_ commission ending, his Excellency is provided for by Baron _Vesselini_. May xxvi. We stay this day at _Clausenburg_. The next we proceed two Hungarian miles to _Erdicurestúr_, where I lodge in a poor Valach house. And the day following we make the like progress thro woods and narrow vales to _Balashaza_, upon the river _Almasch_. May xxix. Two more Hungarian miles thro the like way bring us to _Zilak_, a reformed Calvinist village, where I visited the chief pastor, _Stephanus Foris Debreezeni_. Within half an hour of this place we passed certain mountains very woody, but not exceeding high, which part Transylvania from Hungary; after which we now enter into those parts of Hungary, which lately gave part of his title to the prince of Transylvania. May xxxi. Passing two Hungarian miles thro a country more open and well improved, we arrive at _Somlyo_; in which there is an old palace, once a seat of residence for the kings of Hungary. Here the guards and commissary is again changed, _Franciscus Trantzeni_, an Hungarian gentleman, now taking that charge. As we continued in this town the following day, I had an opportunity of conversing with the minister, whose name is _Zovány_. June i.
