a_o merchant_n of_o drogomania_n tell_v i_o tartary_n a_o country_n confine_v eastward_o upon_o these_o kingdom_n the_o desert_n of_o arabia_n be_v little_a in_o comparison_n to_o they_o and_o when_o i_o tell_v he_o the_o forty_o tedious_a day_n it_o cost_v we_o betwixt_o suria_n and_o medina_n through_o the_o desert_n of_o arabia_n he_o answer_v this_o be_v nothing_o in_o respect_n since_o by_o the_o help_n of_o guide_n they_o may_v here_o and_o there_o find_v a_o well_o whereas_o in_o the_o desert_n of_o asia_n in_o two_o and_o twenty_o day_n journey_n together_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v find_v but_o sand_n and_o that_o one_o day_n as_o he_o travailde_v along_o with_o the_o convoy_n by_o misfortune_n one_o of_o the_o jar_n of_o water_n break_v which_o be_v a_o great_a mischief_n to_o they_o and_o a_o very_a important_a loss_n be_v force_v for_o want_n of_o it_o to_o kill_v one_o of_o their_o camel_n to_o drink_v the_o loathsome_a water_n within_o he_o and_o eat_v his_o flesh_n he_o tell_v i_o then_o for_o more_o commodious_a passage_n above_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o provide_v good_a beast_n and_o chief_o persian_a ass_n ass_n the_o best_a beast_n the_o world_n afford_v for_o carriage_n and_o the_o most_o proper_a for_o those_o way_n and_o be_v worth_a as_o much_o as_o a_o good_a horse_n that_o after_o these_o sand_n they_o come_v to_o huge_a mountain_n absolute_o barren_a which_o in_o my_o opinion_n must_v needs_o be_v mineral_n but_o they_o try_v they_o not_o they_o be_v so_o far_o distant_a and_o the_o way_n so_o troublesome_a i_o observe_v in_o my_o east_n and_o western_a voyage_n that_o where_o the_o mine_n of_o gold_n silver_z and_o precious_a stone_n where_o the_o mountain_n be_v ordinary_o barren_a have_v nothing_o grow_v about_o they_o as_o they_o observe_v of_o the_o calanfour_n or_o clove_n which_o suffer_v no_o plant_n near_o it_o the_o merchant_n observe_v likewise_o that_o in_o these_o mountain_n which_o must_v be_v those_o the_o ancient_n call_v juac_n divide_v high_a and_o low_a asia_n there_o be_v abundance_n of_o serpent_n of_o prodigious_a bigness_n meat_n but_o be_v more_o advantage_n than_o damage_n to_o they_o for_o be_v free_a from_o venom_n and_o of_o a_o excellent_a substance_n and_o nourishment_n they_o eat_v there_o nothing_o else_o as_o i_o remember_v i_o see_v in_o the_o mountain_n of_o sir_n in_o africa_n for_o pass_v these_o mountain_n and_o lodging_n with_o the_o arabian_n under_o their_o tent_n it_o be_v our_o admiration_n to_o see_v huge_a serpent_n play_v with_o child_n who_o will_v give_v they_o morsel_n of_o bread_n but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o tartarian_a merchant_n he_o tell_v i_o that_o have_v pass_v this_o mountainous_a country_n they_o come_v to_o another_o desert_n of_o twenty_o day_n over_o void_a of_o all_o food_n where_o he_o be_v constrain_v to_o stray_v a_o good_a day_n journey_n to_o hunt_v for_o water_n and_o other_o commodity_n and_o this_o too_o with_o weapon_n in_o hand_n because_o there_o live_v a_o certain_a horde_n or_o nation_n of_o shepherd_n or_o tartar_n nomads_n who_o keep_v huge_a mastiff_n dog_n the_o most_o fierce_a and_o bloody_a in_o the_o world_n which_o indeed_o have_v more_o of_o the_o wolf_n than_o the_o dog_n they_o keep_v these_o dog_n to_o destroy_v passenger_n on_o the_o way_n to_o which_o they_o train_v they_o for_o diet_n for_o themselves_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o about_o three_o year_n before_o this_o breed_n of_o rascal_n be_v almost_o all_o devour_v by_o their_o own_o dog_n after_o their_o cruel_a usage_n of_o certain_a merchant_n who_o pass_v that_o way_n these_o to_o revenge_v themselves_o make_v a_o ambush_n and_o have_v take_v they_o serve_v they_o as_o they_o have_v do_v other_o he_o
