to_o take_v a_o view_n of_o a_o magnificent_a palace_n call_v by_o the_o arabian_n abulkerun_v or_o the_o horn_a building_n because_o as_o i_o think_v the_o pillar_n that_o be_v before_o this_o

day_n and_o examine_v all_o thing_n more_o exact_o tuesday_n the_o four_o of_o april_n i_o go_v with_o my_o ordinary_a guide_n to_o see_v the_o vadigamus_n and_o the_o cave_n that_o be_v there_o vadigamus_n be_v a_o narrow_a valley_n between_o two_o mountain_n which_o be_v as_o high_a as_o one_o another_o and_o flat_a on_o the_o top_n this_o valley_n be_v like_o a_o bugle_n from_o whence_o i_o believe_v this_o valley_n have_v borrow_v the_o name_n for_o the_o word_n vadigamus_n signify_v the_o valley_n of_o the_o bugle_n at_o the_o beginning_n it_o have_v a_o large_a entrance_n which_o

afterward_o it_o rise_v by_o degree_n to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mountain_n where_o it_o unite_v and_o join_v they_o and_o represent_v the_o bottom_n of_o a_o sack_n on_o both_o side_n of_o these_o two_o mountain_n that_o face_n one_o another_o be_v two_o rank_n of_o cave_n each_o rank_n contain_v fifty_o cave_n or_o thereabouts_o which_o make_v one_o hundred_o cave_n upon_o each_o mountain_n i_o enter_v into_o some_o of_o they_o that_o be_v so_o high_a that_o three_o long_a pike_n tie_v to_o one_o another_o will_v not_o have_v reach_v to_o the_o top_n they_o be_v very_o large_a but_o without_o order_n within_o and_o uneven_a and_o not_o perfect_o square_a i_o have_v wonder_v at_o the_o capricious_a design_n of_o the_o ancient_a egyptian_n to_o make_v such_o wide_a cave_n so_o high_a and_o so_o numerous_a yield_v so_o little_a conveniency_n to_o the_o inhabitant_n for_o they_o be_v make_v upon_o the_o steep_a mountain_n of_o sand_n far_o from_o town_n and_o water_n dig_v
