years, and I came in the strength of the Lord, who directed my way for
good; and I feared nothing until I arrived at that ship. And the day
on which I came the ship had moved out of her place; and I asked to go

left exhausted by the wayside. After this, they gave the greatest
thanks to God, and I was honored in their eyes.

They also found wild honey, and offered me some of it, and one of them
said: "This is offered in sacrifice, thanks be to God"; after this, I
