~~Parma~~ [[Verona]]

Probably when entire, this Amphitheatre would
have contained 50,000 Persons, w/ch [which] is I believe
almost double the Number of present Inhabitants;
a proof how much ~~the State of~~ [[Verona]] has declined
from its ancient flourishing State _

The Theatre just by for the Opera is
pretty eno' [enough], but this Town has nothing inviting to
a Stranger to make a long stay in it _ Nor does
it seem to superabound in fine Paintings in
hte Churches, tho' [though] it be the birth place of [[Paul
Veronese]] _

After dinner we proceeded 10 Miles
& had but an indifferent Inn to put up
at this night

Friday Augst. [August] 9th.

We proceeded 14 Miles and came
to [[Mantua]] _ this Dukedom is famous for [the]
being the Birth place of [[Virgil]] _ The Town
is built on a Lake, surrounded with strong fortifi=
cations _ ~~As [illegible]~~ It has fallen into y/e [the] hands of the
empress Queen since the family of the late Dukes
has been extinct.
