ab Almerico Rege Herosoly mitano, quicum–
in eo esset, ut caperet: sumta a sultano
secuma recessit princeps avarus, urarioque potius
suo, ut ajebat, consulturus, quam militi uibem
depredaturo, uibem regno suo exitiosam ali–

 cum enim Mammelucei ductis varie
fossis plateas initersecuissent, et pene omnes
passus hosti earo venderent, ad extremum
Turca ac injecto adificus igni rebus infectis
abire decreverat, neque enim maris aut Nili
domingerat, cum sulito nintiatur Mammetuchos

caloria: infinita in ea hominum multitudo,
quae fac mature transactione nequicquam

propugnaculis Turcico milite, excidium evi-

in uibis extremitate situm est unde a

non est verendum ut diu resistat, nam et
ob amplitudinem non satis defendi potest,
praesertim cum a Selymo prope datum
