the nickname was given to him because of the exaggerated numbers with which
his often repeated stories of the wealth of the East were filled.¹ In the *Imago
Mundi*, as we have seen, the name is said to have been earned by his actual wealth.²
It seems to be the case that the real meaning of the name was not certainly known
even in the fourteenth century, and until further evidence is found we must be
content to remain uncertain ourselves.
Ramusio's and Barbaro's well known accounts of the return of the wanderers
need not be repeated here.³ They do not seem to be supported by any early
authority.
