Pliny writes of Trapovana in his sixth book, chapter 22, and says that there was a time when the opinion was held that Trapovana was another world, and that it was called Antichthon ; and that Alexander was the first to inform us that it was an island ; and that Onesicritus, Admiral of the fleet, says that in the said island of Trapovana there are larger and more warlike elephants than in India ; and that Magasaene gives as its length 7, 000 stadia, and as its width 5, 000 ; that there is no wa...lled city in it, but 700 villages ; and that in Claudius reign ambas sadors came from the said island to Rome. In this way the freedman Damius Plocamius, who had bought of the Republic the taxes of the Red Sea, and sailing round Arabia was carried by the north wind in such a way that on the I5th day he entered a port of the said island called Hippius, and was very generously received and treated by the King ; and that after having remained in the said island six months he learned the language ; and that one day talking with the King he told him that the Romans and their Emperor were incredibly just ; and that the King, seeing that the coins which the said Freedman had were of equal weight, though the stamp showed they were of different Emperors, moved by this, sent ambassadors to Rome, the chief of whom was Rachia, to make friendship with Claudius, from which ambas sadors he heard that in the said island there were five hundred cities ; and that the said ambassadors were JOHN AND SEBASTIAN CABOT 237 astonished to see in these heavens of ours the North Star and the Pleiades as something new and to them unknown ; and that they said that in the said island they only saw the moon above the earth from the 8th day to the i5th ; and they were especially astonished that shadows turned towards our sky and not towards theirs, and that the sun rose on the right and set on the left ; from which aforesaid reasons it seems that in the said island where the said freedman made harbour the North Star is not seen, which is seen in the island Trapovana ; whence it might be said, considering whence the said freedman, Damius Proclamius [V], started, and the course he might have made with a raging north wind, that the island where he made harbour was the island of San Lorenzo and not Trapubana [V], And that as king of the said island an old and mild man without children is usually elected, and if after being elected he should beget any, they at once depose him ; and when they elect him they give him thirty counsellors; and that the said King can condemn no one if the majority of his said thirty counsellors are not agreed with him ; and that afterwards the said condemned man can appeal to the people, which thereupon elects seventy judges who examine his case ; and if they find he was wrongly sentenced they set him free and those counsellors who agreed in condemning him are deprived of their offices and are held infamous for ever after.
