Theire Language neither Turkish nor Greeke1, but like the
Russian, for wee had a Russe- which served for our In-

The Jth. June, 1620. Wee departed from Belgrade, and
dined by a Fountaine six myles in our waie, and four
miles farther wee pitched and lay in the feilds. Too day
Exceedinge hott.
The 8th. June, 1620. Att the end of eight miles wee
dyned, and rested some three howres to passe away the
heate of the day, after which wee passed two myles
further, and remained in the feilds that Night.
The gth. June, 1620. From our aforesaid feild lodginge
wee came by Noone to a great Towne called Valliano
(10 miles)3, where by a Rivers side4, which had two bridges,
my Lord pitched his tent. Att our entrance into the
Towne were twoe men on stakes throwne downe, halfe
eaten with Doggs and Crowes. The Caddee sent us twenty
men to watch with us all night, the place being somewhat
dangerous for Theeves5. Heere wee had Cherries at a
farthinge a pound.
The 10th. June, 1620. Att twenty miles end wee tooke
upp our lodginge in the Feilds. This dayes travell proved
some what easie, in regard the day was not very hott of it
selfe, and the next, our waie beinge through shadie woods

Bulgarians] use the Illyrian, or Slavonian Tongue, as the Servians

place quoted in A-ppendix A. Mundy from this point to Spalato
becomes very difficult, and at times impossible, to follow, and seems
to have frequently misjudged the distances in the mountains.
4 The Kolubara, a tributary of the Save. From Belgrade the road
follows the banks of the Save for some ten miles and then turns south-
wards into the valley of the Kolubara and its several affluents.

when passing through this district.
