c21.s2.107

¹ I am doubtful about this translation. The word used has probably some technical meaning. Yule's Dictionary has *soosie* from Persian *súst*. "Some kind of silk cloth, but we know not what kind." The original passage runs:—"Quoanto ao pao, sabereis que he toda chea de suas soajes, e de liõis todos d ouro, e no vão d estas soajes tem hũas chapas d ouro com muytos robis," &c.
