...crossed This after of China borders tarteria by the north vantadel.
(Note: From China, Tartaria is North and the directions head Southeast into the sea. Note
this is the same language of the Periplus as This is China and then Northern China is identified and then Tartaria. What these are not doing is heading North however.)
(lequios - in front of this Chinese saying and its after ofir) there are many isles to the
sea (Note: Not Indonesia and Source 149 is clear not Japan!) and The sayings are very
large and it is after that is other firm where three or four reeds of white people came to
malaka each year that are very great merchants and very rich in much gold and silver
and silk and much pearl. Good wheat and very famous porcelain (Note: All Philippine
merchandise) and other merchandise stores carry a lot of pepper and all other things that
Chinese sayings lead to what are called lequios dizen those of malaka which are better
people than older merchants and more rich and dressed and onRados that the Chinese (Note: Quoting Barbosa likely.) of the people until now have no news because they
never came to malac after they were Portuguese.
NOTE: This whole chapter progresses from Spain to Lequios and Ofir. Not a perfect
translation but one can easily understand this is identifying the Philippines. It is not
Japan which 149 clarifies. Taiwan is not a group of isles. This is the Philippines especially since Pigafetta and others found the Lequios in Luzon Philippines. Here are
some of the markers along the way from Doc. 98. You can view the entire document
at the link below (or let us know if you cannot view and we will put up a pdf on our
website) as there are many more markers along the way and we are just pulling out
general directions as we state in our book:

in Africa, then India and Sri Lanka, to Burma, to Sumatra, to Moluccas, to China, [below]
then finally to Tarsis (south of Ofir) and then, Lequios
and Ofir or Ophir.” [Left. Notice Lequios and Ofir are the
same place.]
