      RABBAN SAWMA GOES TO THE KING OF ENGLAND [i.e. EDWARD I]
"And they went forth from that place, that is to say, from PARIS, to go to the king of England, to Kasonia (GASCONY?). And having arrived in twenty days at their city [BORDEAUX?], the inhabitants of the city went forth to meet them...and the king welcomed them gladly, and the people introduced them into his presence."
