Excerpt from original source: "It is said to have formerly contained forty churches, whence it derived the name, Kirk Ekklesie, i.e. the city of forty churches; it does not however contain many edifices appropriated to christian worship at present, nor the christian inhabitants are numerous. The public buildings are of hewn stown, or marble, some of them very handsome: they consist principally of ten mosques and minarets, with several hummums, a besestein or market-place, and a fine fountain. The city is without walls, and is inhabited chiefly by Turks and Jews; the latter, who have removes hither from Podolia, are very numerous and speak a kind of corrupt german. Their principal employment is making butter and cheese to which the affix a particular mark, whereby, says Busching, the Jews of Constantinople, to whom they send it, know that the whole is clesn and made by the Jews."
