De prouincia Dalascie, C. xxxiiil. Balascia magna prouincia est, que
[27]
linguam propriam habet. Reges habet ex vna prouincia!) sibi iure hereditario

[35]
autem pro auro et argento conmutat. Tanta enim ibi est ipsorum lapidum
[36]

ipse nichil uel modicum lucraretur. In hac prouincia in monte alio inuenitur
