InscriptionsGallorum ad Maii flumen navigatio. (u,c print) CONSCENSIS denuo scaphis aliò navigarūt: & antè quàm appellerent, ab alia Indorum turba salut ationibus excepti sunt; qui ad humeros usque flumen ingrebi, parvos corbes mayzo, morisque albis & rubris plenos ipsis obtulerunt: alÿs ad eos in continentem deferendos operam suam offerentibus: in quem delati, illorum Regem conspexerunt, quem bini filÿ cum caterva Indorum arcu & pharetra sagittis plena armatorum comitabantur. Mutuis salutationibus peractis, in syluas profecti sunt, multa singularia istic se reperturos sperantes: sed nihil præter arbores rubra & alba mora ferentes observarunt, quaram fastigia multi bombyces occupabant. Id autem flumen Maii nomine indigetarunt; quoniam ejus mensis primo die conspectum ab ipsis fuit. (l,c print) A 3 d (l,r print) F. Maij (l,c plate)
