Da baruti infra terra una giornata
E una mezza equel gran cictade
Chentucto il mondo e tanto nominata
Mercatantesta e/ di gran nobilitade
Possente e/ riccha damasco chiamata
Che neuna di magior antiquitade
Sovra la terra non trovan che sia
Et e/ stata gran facto tucta via
Tripoli di soria]] segue per mare
Sexanta miglia e poi trenta tortosa
Laleccha poi septanta inquellandare
Et tucta questa e/ terra montuosa
fin poi cinquanta miglia dove appare
La focie di soldino assai famosa
poi elaxandria altre cinquanta
E insino alla raçça poi quaranta
Anguli cento fa qui la marina
E voglie molti venti e ad ponente
Verso libeccio a quaranta sidichina
Fin ad antrochecta oquasi mente
La iazza aciento miglia sa vicina
Atarso e/ poi quaranta le seguente
Il turcho e poi palopoli a septanta
Et adantrochecta a poi novanta
