lows:
"In the court Of Prester Iohn there Is
wilde man and another in the high
street of Constantnople whose allow
ance Is every day quarter Of raw
mutton. and when any man dyeth for
some notorious offence then they are
allowed every day a quarter of mans
flesh. These wilde men are chained
fast to post every day. the one In

high street Of ConstantinOple. each OF
them having mantell about their
shoulders, and all over their bodyes
they have wonderful long haire. They
