Sorians] So the 4to.--Here the 8vo has "Syrians"; but elsewhere in this SEC.PART of the play it agrees with the 4to in having "Sorians," and "Soria" (which occurs repeatedly,--the King of SORIA being one of the characters).--Compare Jonson's FOX, act iv.sc.1;
"whether a ship, Newly arriv'd from SORIA, or from Any suspected part of all the Levant, Be guilty of the plague," &c.
On which passage Whalley remarks; "The city Tyre, from whence the whole country had its name, was anciently called ZUR or ZOR;
since the Arabs erected their empire in the East, it has been again called SOR, and is at this day known by no other name in those parts.Hence the Italians formed their SORIA."

So the 8vo (except that by a misprint it gives "Illicians").--The 4to has,--"Egyptians, FREDERICK.And we from Europe to the same intent Illirians, Thracians, and Bithynians"; a line which belongs to a later part of the scene (see next col.) being unaccountably inserted here.
