InscriptionsGallilocum condendæ arciaptum deligunt. (u,c print) IX. (u,r print) OBSERVATIS multis ejus regionis fluminibus, tandem itum est in eam sententiam, potius ad flumen Maii deligendas esse sedes, quam ad aliud ullum flumen: quia jam animadverterant illud præ reliquis milio & farina abundare, præter aurum & argentum quod istic in prima navigatione repertum est: cursum igitur ad id flumen direxerunt, in quo cum navigassent ad locum quendam monti vicinum, commodior æstimatus est ille locus ad arcem condendam, quam ullus alius hactenus ab ipsis conspectus. Postridie summo diluculo, fusis ad Deum precibus, & actis gratÿs de felici in eam prouinciam adventu, omnes alacres sunt redditi:deinde plana area in triquetram formam dimensa, finguli manum operi admo vere cœperunt; alÿ terr am evertendo, alÿ fasces ex virgultis cæsis componendo, alÿ vallum conficiendo:nemo enim adfuit qui palam, serram, securim, aliudve instrumentum non haberet, cum ad arbores cædendas, tum ad acrem instruendum, eaque diligentia adhibita est, ut brevi opus procederet. (l,c print) F. Maij 9 (l,c plate)
