or DNIEPER, a large river of Europe, and one of the most considerable of the north, formerly called the Borithenes. Its source is in the middle of Mucovoy, running west by Smolenfko, as far as Orfa; and then turns south, passing by Mohilow, Bohacz, Kiow, Czyrkalff, the forts of Kudak, Deffau, and Oczakow, falling into the Black Sea; as also in its course it divides Little Tartary from Budziac Tartary.
