In the course of my journeying I came to Taprobane, and was compelled to go ashore at a place, where through fear of the inhabitants I remained in a wood. When I stepped out of this I found myself on a large plain immediately under the equator.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
