Propter hoc autem id maxime credebatur, quia semper, quando Cuyne tentorio exibat, eidem cantabatur, et cum virgis speciosis, in summitate lanam coccineam habentibus, inclinabatur, quod alteri Ducum nulli fiebat, quousque exterius morabatur. [Sidenote: Syra orda.] Hac autem statio siue Curia nominatur ab eis Syra orda. [Sidenote: Aurea orda.] Hac exeuntes, vnanimiter omnes equitauimus per tres aut quaruor leucas ad alium locum, vbi erat in quadam pulchra planicie iuxta riuum inter montes aliud tentorium, quod apud ipsos appellatur Orda aurea, praparatum. Ibi enim Cuyne debebat poni in sede in die Assumptionis Domina nostra [Sidenote: Augusti 15.]. Sed propter grandinem nuniam, qua tunc, vt supra dictum est, cecidit, res dilata fuit. Eratque tentorium in columnis positum, qua laminis aureis erant tecta, et clauis aureis cum alijs lignis fixa.
