Examples

“Gignit tota vita, quae est ei ad tricensimum annum. Partus caritas summa, sed aquarum taedium maius: per ignīs ad fetus tendunt, eaedem, si rivus minimus intersit, horrent ita ut pedes omnino caveant tinguere, nec nisi adsuetos potant fontīs quae sunt in pecuariis, atque ita ut sicco tramite ad potum eant. Nec pontīs transeunt per raritatem palancarum translucentibus fluviis.”

It breeds through all its lifetime, which is thirty years. It has a very great affection for its young, but a greater dislike for water: she-asses will go through fire to their foals, but yet if the smallest stream intervenes they are afraid of merely wetting their hooves. Those kept in pastures will only drink at springs they are used to, and where they can get to drink by a dry track; and they will not go across bridges with interstices in their structure allowing the gleam of the river to be seen through them.

“Sublicae pali lignei ut longuriae fere & palancae: Inde sublicius pons Romae, e sublicis nullo ut volunt ferreo clavo compactus, Caesar in rerum suarum comentariis de ponte illo nobili supra Rhenum germaniae, non sublicae inquit modo directae ad perpendiculum sed pronae & fastigiatae.”

“Id quoque quod de demolitionibus et disjectionibus Palancarum in eadem cum turca transactum clausumque est, in grande enormeque dedecus et damnum patriae nostrae vergit. Nam sub vocabulo destructionis Palancarum nihil aliud latet (licet istud suae sangvinariae malitiae glaucoma admodum tenui explicationis caliptra tegere studiant), quam exterminatio militum hajdonum trans-Tibiscum locatorum.”

This also what of demolition and dishevelment of the palankas has been wrought and finessed with the Turk, sets a great and enormous disgrace and wound to our fatherland. For under the concept of a destruction of the palankas nothing is hidden (though they strive to cover this swack of their thugduggery by spreading the thin headscarf of unfolding a story) but the extermination of the hajduk soldiers sent forth over Tibiscum.

“7125–1617. finito, et 7126–1618 veniente, exit Skender pasca contra Cosacos in terram Lehicham, minorem Russiam, et tunc advenit Bethlen Gabro et Radul Bogdaniae et Alexander Valachiae, verum non multi ceciderunt, et nonnullae palancae duntaxat incensae sunt. Postremo venit etiam perfidus Tatarus Cantamir, et populatus est minorem Russiam et 53 millia hominum praeter peccora abduxit.”

In the ending year 7125–1617 and beginning 7126–1618 Skender leaves the meadows against the Cossacks into Lechic earth, Little Russia, and then comes Bethlen Gabro and Radul of Bogdania and Alexander of Wallachia, but some fell, and some palankas at least have been set on fire. Later comes also the perfidious Tatar Cantamir, and populates Little Russia and abducts 53 thousand humans apart from livestock.
