he_o build_v there_o lycoria_n they_o call_v it_o now_o as_o my_o companion_n say_v liacoura_n i_o understand_v it_o hiliocoro_n and_o shall_v have_v think_v myself_o mistake_v by_o the_o article_n

with_o a_o sacred_a rage_n we_o come_v to_o the_o foot_n of_o this_o high_a top_n through_o a_o large_a valley_n of_o about_o four_o or_o five_o mile_n compass_v and_o rest_v ourselves_o at_o a_o

to_o the_o eastern_a end_n of_o it_o we_o can_v find_v no_o passage_n for_o the_o water_n out_o of_o it_o but_o one_o be_v a_o hole_n pierce_v through_o a_o great_a rock_n at_o the_o east_n end_n

call_v scizaliza_n be_v it_o not_o for_o such_o subterraneous_a passage_n as_o these_o the_o whole_a valley_n will_v soon_o be_v fill_v with_o water_n until_o it_o run_v over_o the_o top_n of_o the_o rock_n down_o upon_o delphos_n and_o possible_o it_o may_v be_v one_o natural_a reason_n of_o that_o deluge_n or_o flood_n in_o deucalion_n time_n and_o that_o he_o can_v save_v himself_o only_o upon_o that_o high_a point_n of_o parnassus_n call_v ancient_o lycoria_n for_o indeed_o i_o esteem_v this_o mountain_n not_o only_o the_o high_a in_o all_o greece_n but_o one_o of_o the_o high_a in_o all_o the_o world_n and_o not_o inferior_a to_o mount_n cenis_n among_o the_o alps_n it_o be_v see_v very_o plain_a from_o corinth_n but_o i_o can_v with_o my_o comrade_n esteem_v it_o eighty_o mile_n
