This meat is delicious. This venison is most delicious. In this region were many wild animals. In this country were many and prosperous cities. In this place (town) were many horses. He besieged the city by land. They restored the exile to his native country.

Whenever the horsemen pursued these animals, they quickly grew weary. The land in this region was a plain. This plain is all level as a sea and it abounds in wild animals of every sort. There are no trees in this region, but it is full of brush-wood and reeds, all of which are sweet-scented as spices. This place was filled with corn and wine and much

They ran more quickly than any one wo suppose.

If you give your attention, you will be hold a specimen of the discipline of the army. Be assure that I will go wherever you do. The forces of the king ar

separated, and on this account his government is weak. The more slowly any one advances against the country of the king, by so much the stronger is his government. This region abounds in water and forage. If the road is steep and impracticable, we will go back again. In this place he built a costly palace.
