InscriptionsI. BATAVORUM primus ad Gabam flumen appulsus. (u,c print) EXprimitur in prima hac icone Bat auorum appulsus ad flumen Gabam, quod per Guineam Æthiopiæ regnum labitur, ubi Lusitani in Æthiopem inciderūt, qui deductos in tugurium Nigritis refertum excepit humanissime. ibi ergo super stragulum bombycinum per pauimentum expansum cōsidentes, subitoque sursum tuentes conspexerunt AEthiopem supra thronum sedentem, quem illi Mani Gabam dixerunt. uocantes is immotus statuæ similis, torquatusque ex torquibus osseis & conspectuterribilis erat ad pedus vetula ventum flabello faciens muscas abigebat. Unde loci dominum eum agnoscentes, protinusque adeum appropinquantes in genua prociderunt, manibus simul more gentis applaudentes. Dominus itaque loci et ipse te status sui fauoris argumenta simili manuum applausu, donauit eos regiis veluti muneribus, aliquot videlicet stragulis affabre contextis, quo facto institutum iter prosecuti sunt.
