cinnamomum et casias fabulose narravit antiquitas princepsque herodotus avium nidis et privatim phoenicis, in quo situ liber pater educatus esset, ex inviis rupibus arboribusque decuti carnis quam ipsae inferrent pondere aut plumbatis sagittis, item casiam circa paludes, propugnante unguibus diro vespertilionum genere aligerisque serpentibus, his commentis augentes rerum pretia. comitata vero fabula est ad meridiani solis repercussus inenarrabilem quendam universitatis halitum e tota paeninsula existere tot generum aurae spirante concentu, magnique alexandri classibus arabiam primum odoribus nuntiatam in altum. omnia falsa, si quidem cinnamomum idemque cinnamum nascitur in aethiopia trogodytis conubio permixta. hi mercantes id a conterminis vehunt per maria vasta ratibus, quas neque gubernacula regant neque remi trahant vel
inpellant vela, non ratio ulla adiuvet: omnium instar ibi sunt homo tantum et audacia. praeterea hibernum mare exigunt circa brumam, euris tum maxime flantibus. hi recto cursu per sinus inpellunt, atque a promunturii ambitu argestae deferunt in portum gebbanitarum qui vocatur ocilia. quam ob rem illi maxime id petunt, produntque vix quinto anno reverti negotiatores et multos interire. contra revehunt vitrea et ae+na, vestes, fibulas cum armillis ac monilibus. ergo negotiatio illa feminarum maxime fide constat.
