He is deceiued,
for albeit Neper and Don run into Mare Maior:
Yet Volga and Iaec flowe into
the Caspian Sea.] Great Sea, out of which the arme of S. George proceedeth,
which runneth by Constantinople. These riuers do abound with plenty of
fishes, but especially Volga, and they exonerate themselues into the
Grecian sea, which is called Mare maior. Ouer Neper we went many daies vpon
the ice. Along the shore also of the Grecian sea we went very dangerously
vpon the ice in sundry places, and that for many daies together. For about
the shore the waters are frozen three leagues into the sea. But before we
came into Bathy, two of our Tartars rode afore, to giue him intelligence of
all the sayings which we had vttered in the presence of Corrensa.
Qualiter recepti sunt apud Bathy magnum Principem. Cap. 22.
Porro cum in finibus terra Comanorum ad Bathy perueniremus, bene positi

causa volumus hoc facere, nisi tantum, vt si vos aliquid malum cogitatis
Domino nostro, vel portatis venenum, ignis auferat omne malum Quibus
respondemus: quod propter hoc, ne de tali re suspectos redderemus nos,
transiremus. [Sidenote: Eldegay.] Cum igitur ad Ordam peruenissemus,
interrogati a procuratore ipsius Eldegay, cum quo inclinare vellemus?
