¶ Seguitan poi vaticia e chirisonda
Di cento in cento miglia inver levante
Segondo illico e poi trabisonda
E quivi muove un archo revoltante
In dirimpecto la ove peçionda
Che da l'un capo a l'altro distante
Ducencinquanta miglia e a girare
Piu cento miglia sarebbeno a fare

¶ Lovati e fascio due fiumi piu su
Fra terra vengon per la circassia
E piu a levante il mar di bachu
E la cita d'organci e Samachia
E a tornar per dicto litto in giu
Savastopoli trovi in quella via
E poi peççonda e poi trecento miglia
Dove 'l canal de lata si piglia

¶ Il dicto litto torna inver ponente
Il canal dicto verso tramontana
Poi seguon ducento miglia ritamente
In verso greco e trovasi la tana
E donde ci movemo primamente
Questa -e- la piu lunga e la piu strana
Dove si navichi e finissi qui
L'asia magiore al fiume tanai.

¶ Deo gratias amen.

[image, left margin: Map depicting the northern coast of the Black Sea painted in aquamarine with grey waves, though heavily abraded, with the Crimean peninsula and the Sea of Azov. The coastline is highlighted in yellow and a grey island sits at the bottom of the sea near ¶3 (label: Chaffa). A reddish-brown city with blue domes and spires (label: LATANA) sits to the left of the lower section of the sea, connected by an aquamarine river.

Then follow Vaticia1Fatsa and Chirisonda2Giresun Adasi
by hundred and hundred miles to east
then Illico and Trabisonda3Trabzon
from here starts a turning arch
in front where [is] Peçionda4Pitsunda
from one point to the other [it is] distant
two hundred fifty miles and to turn around
would require more than a hundred miles

Lovati5Lo Vati and Fascio6Rioni river are two rivers up there
they flow on the land through the Circassia7Circassia
and to the easr is the Bachu sea8Caspian sea
the cities of Organci9Archancci and Samachia10Shamakhi
Going down straight from that road
you find along the way Savastopoli
then Peççonda and three hundred miles [later]
where the strait bends on the side

the said waterfront goes back to the west
the said strait [turns] to north
then two hundred straight miles follow
towards north-east and there is La Tana
And From where we moved at the beginning (?)
this is the longest and unusual [way]
where you can sail and here ends,
at the Tanai river, the Asia maior.

Deo gratias amen.
