And Also Ye Shall Understand, That The Jews Have No Proper Land Of
Their Own For To Dwell In, In All The World, But Only That Land
Between The Mountains.
And yet they yield tribute for that land to
the Queen of Amazonia, the which that maketh them to be kept in
close full diligently, that they shall not go out on no side but by
the coast of their land; for their land marcheth to those
mountains.
And often it hath befallen, that some of the Jews have gone up the
mountains and avaled down to the valleys. But great number of folk
ne may not do so, for the mountains be so high and so straight up,
that they must abide there, maugre their might. For they may not
go out, but by a little issue that was made by strength of men, and
it lasteth well a four great mile.
And after, is there yet a land all desert, where men may find no
water, neither for digging ne for none other thing. Wherefore men
may not dwell in that place, so is it full of dragons, of serpents
and of other venomous beasts, that no man dare not pass, but if it
be strong winter. And that strait passage men clepe in that
country Clyron. And that is the passage that the Queen of Amazonia
maketh to be kept. And though it happen some of them by fortune to
go out, they can no manner of language but Hebrew, so that they
cannot speak to the people.
