The free Imperial town of Dlnkelskihl or Dunkehpuhl, by fome called
T'ricoliis, Zcacollis, or Zeapolis, lies betwixt the county of Oettingen and the
Marggravate of Anfpacb on the Wernitz, ftanding on three buhles or hills,
on which formerly grew fpelt. Accordingly on its arms is an ear of fpelt
Or. The inhabitants of this place are a mixture of Luthentm and Romancatholics,
the latter of which are poiTefled of the great church and two
convents; but the former of the hofpital-church, their own confiftory, and
two German fchools, in one of which, by virtue of a compadt made in the
year 165 1, Latin may be taught. The maglftracy here is alfo one half of
it i?o;;/j«-catholic, and the other Lutheran. The T'eutonick order has a
manor and a prefedurate here belonging to the commandery of ElUngen,

928 was firft environed with a wall, to which in 11 26 was added another.
