a city of the Turkish province of Nicopoli. It stands on the northern bank of the Danube, and in the principality of Wallachia, but the garrison is Turkish. It has a strong fortress, and the city itself is fortified. The inhabitants amount to 7000, Greeks, Armenians, and Walachians, with very few Turks, excepting the military, who chiefly reside within the fortress of Turn, which commands the city.
