ABSTRACT

Now I shall cease to speak to you of us at Gallipoli, for I shall know well how to return to it, and I must speak to you of En Berenguer de Entenza who went to take the city of Eregli, which is twenty-four miles distant from Constantinople, and there made so much gain, it was infinite. And this city is the one in which Herod was, who had some of the Babes killed. And I must recount to you a manifest miracle. Namely, at that place, Eregli, there is a bay which reaches to the island of Marmara, where all the marble of Romania is quarried. And in that bay are two fine cities, one called Panido and the other Rodosto. And you must know that in that city of Rodosto the greatest crime was committed against us that has ever been committed against anyone. And in order that you should know what the crime was I will tell it you.
