Post Hac Incontinenti Sponte In
Puluerem Voluebantur, Sicque Puluis Admixtus Aqua Super Eos Corugelabatur,
Et Vt Ita Pluries Fecerunt, Glacie Super Eos Depressata, Cum Impetu Magno
Contra Tartaros Ad Pugnam Conuenerunt.
At vero cum illi sagittas super eos
iaciebant, ac si super lapides sagittassent, retro sagitta redibant.
Alia
quoque arma eorum in nullo eos ledere poterant. Ipsi vero Canes insultum in
Tartaros iacientes, morsibus vulnerauerunt multos, et occiderunt sicque
illos de suis finibus eiecerunt. Vnde adhuc inter illos est prouerbium de
hoc facto, quod dicunt ad inuicem ridendo: Pater meus vel frater meus a
Canibus fuit occisus. Mulieres autem illorum, quas ceperant, ad terram suam
duxerunt, et vsque ad diem mortis eorum ibidem fuerunt. [Sidenote:
Burithabeth regio. Incolarum mores.] Cum autem exercitus ille Mongalorum
rediret, venit ad terram Burithabeth, cuius habitatores pagani sunt, et hos
Tartari bello vicerunt. Hi consuetudinem habent mirabilem, imo potius
miserabilem. Cum enim alicuius pater humana natura soluit debitum,
congregant omnem parentelam, et comedunt eum. Hi pilos in barba non habent,
imo ferrum quoddam in manibus, sicut vidimus, portant, cum quo semper
barbam, si forte crinis aliquis in ea crescit, depilant. Multi etiam
deformes sunt. Inde vero ille Tartarorum exercitus in terram suam est
reuersus.

How being repelled by monstrous men shapen like dogs, they ouercame the
people of Burithabeth. Chap. 11.
[Sidenote: A strange report of certain monstrous women and dogs.] But
returning through the deserts, they came vnto a certaine countrey, wherein
(as it was reported vnto vs in the Emperours court, by certaine clergie men
of Russia and others, who were long time among them, and that by strong and
stedfast affirmation) they found certaine monsters resembling women who
being asked by many interpreters, where the men of that land were, they
answered, that whatsoeuer women were borne there, were indued with the
shape of mankinde, but the males were like vnto dogges.
