Seres quietissimi omnium mortalium sunt, nulla cum aliis gentibus commertia habentes. perdurant plurimo tempore et tandem absque aegritudine vitam finiunt.
The Seres are the most peaceful of all mortals. No commerce is held with other peoples. They survive for a long time and finally end life without sickness.

Scythia extra Imaum hodie est terra Mongal et pars Tartariae magnae, regio plurimum montosa, deserta, et infrequens. Caret civitatibus, praeter unam Carcurim. Talis quidem erat olim huius terrae facies.
Scythia beyond the Imaus is today Mongol land and part of Greater Tartary, a land mostly mountainous, desert, and sparsely populated. It lacks cities, except for one: Karakorum. Such was once the face of this land.
