Gyllius, _De Top. CP._, iii. c. i.; cf. Paspates, pp. 166, 167. The
ground on which Yeni Validè Djamissi stands, near the Stamboul end of
the Outer Bridge, belonged, as late as the seventeenth century, to
Karaïte Jews, who claimed that the territory had been granted to their
ancestors under the Byzantine Empire. In return for the seizure of the
ground to build the mosque (1615-1655), the community received houses
at Haskeui, and forty members of the community were exempted from
taxation for life. As the site of the synagogue could not be sold, the
mosque has had to pay the community an annual rent of thirty-two
piastres.

Gyllius’ statement (_De Top. CP._, III. c. i.) on the subject is:
“Portum, quem vocunt Neorion, quod prope portam, quam Græci appellant
Oraiam, corruptè quasi Neorii portam, aut non longe ab ea, fuisse
existimo. Hodie inter mare et Portam Oraiam, quam Turci appellant
Siphont (Tsifout), id est, Judæorum eam accolentium, spatium latum ...
videre licet.” Cf. _De Bosporo Thracio_, II. c. i. “Pro porta quam
vulgo vocant Oriam corruptè, quasi olim Neorii portam.”
