or Dnieper, a large river of Europe, and one of the most considerable of the North, formerly called the Boriththenes. Its source is in the middle of Mucovoy, running west by Smolensko, as far as Orfa; and then turns south, passing by Mohilow, Bohaczko, Kiow, Czyrkaffi, the fortresses of Kudak, Desfau, and Oczakow, falling into the Black sea; as also in its course it divides Little Tartary from Budziac Tartary.
