fortnight, about the time of his festival, the sea may be passed 
on foot, and they give the Sacrament to all who are worthy to 
receive it, and refuse it to the unworthy. And this place is 
four days distant from the great city of Edissen,! where he 
built the large palace. But this above-mentioned town of 
Lapis is for the most part ruined,® and the Christians inhabit 
it on condition of paying a tribute,* and everybody, including 
the king and queen, well naked, with the exception of their 
peneit: which are covered.”

may note here once more that Mylapore was destroyed by 
1503. That too is what the Syrian Bishops wrote from Malabar in 1504.

1126 as the year of the Indian Prelete’s arrival in Rome. Cf. supra
