About ten Jews, who are dyers, reside here.  It is two days’ journey to
Otranto, which is on the coast of the Greek sea.  Here are about 500
Jews, at the head of them being R. Menachem, R. Caleb, R. Meir, and R.
Mali.  From Otranto it is a voyage of two days to Corfu, where only one
Jew of the name of R. Joseph lives, and here ends the kingdom of
Sicily.

Thence it is two days’ voyage to the land of Larta (Arta), which is the beginning of the dominions of Emanuel, Sovereign of the Greeks.  It is a place containing about 100 Jews, at their head being R. Shelachiah and R. Hercules.  From there it is two days to Aphilon (Achelous)[35], a place in which reside about thirty Jews, at their head being R. Sabbattai.  From there it takes half a day to Anatolica, which is situated on an arm of the sea[36].

From there it takes a day to Patras, which is the city which Antipater[37], King of the Greeks, built.  He was one of the four successors of King Alexander.

In the city there are several large old buildings, and about fifty Jews live here, at their head being R. Isaac, R. Jacob, and R. Samuel.  Half a day’s journey by way of the sea takes one to Kifto (Lepanto)[38], where there are about 100 Jews, who live on the sea-coast; at their head are R. Guri, R. Shallum, and R. Abraham.  From there it is a journey of a day and a half to Crissa, where about 200 Jews live apart.  They sow and reap on their own land; at their head are R. Solomon, R. Chayim, and R. Jedaiah.  From there it is three days’ journey to the capital city of Corinth; here are about 300 Jews, at their head being R. Leon, R. Jacob, and R. Hezekiah.

Thence it is two days’ journey to the great city of Thebes, where there are about 2,000 Jews.  They are the most skilled artificers in silk and purple cloth throughout Greece.  They have scholars learned in the Mishnah and the Talmud, and other prominent men, and at their head are the chief rabbi R. Kuti and his brother R. Moses, as well as R. Chiyah, R. Elijah Tirutot, and R. Joktan; and there are none like them in the land of the Greeks, except in the city of Constantinople.

From Thebes it is a day’s journey to Egripo[39], which is a large city upon the sea-coast, where merchants come from every quarter.  About 200 Jews live there, at their head being R. Elijah Psalteri, R. Emanuel, and R. Caleb.

From there it takes a day to Jabustrisa, which is a city upon the sea-coast with about 100 Jews, at their head being R. Joseph, R. Elazar, R. Isaac, R. Samuel, and R. Nethaniah.  From there it is a day’s journey to Rabonica, where there are about 100 Jews, at their head being R. Joseph, R. Elazar, and R. Isaac.

From there it is a day’s journey to Sinon Potamo, where there are about fifty Jews, at their head being R. Solomon and R. Jacob.  The city is situated at the foot of the hills of Wallachia.  The nation called Wallachians live in those mountains.  They are as swift as hinds, and they sweep down from the mountains to despoil and ravage the land of Greece.  No man can go up and do battle against them, and no king can rule over them.  They do not hold fast to the faith of the Nazarenes, but give themselves Jewish names.
