its rule, that is to say that they are noble *and great* and *all of* great value, for they are V FB
cities of great trade and of great profit, for they have silk beyond measure, *and* V
*therefore there are many merchants in this city.* And I tell you that *it used to have a king* P
*before it was made subject to the great Kaan.* In the 1272¹ year [60b] of the incarnation of
Christ the great Kaan had sent a baron of his who had Liitan Sangon for name *to* TA
go to this city and to this province that he should *rule and* guard and keep it safe. VB
Moreover he gives eighty thousand² horsemen to this Liitan to keep this watch.
And when this Liitan has stayed with *all* these people in this province *awhile,* FB FB
*then, ·seeing himself at the head of so many men and of so rich and fertile a land, growing proud* VB
*and·considering his ability to rule, he was infected with imaginations of treason and* like a Z
traitor he thinks of doing a very great disloyalty, and you shall hear what. He was
*speaking* with all the wise men of all these cities *and led them away with the deceitful* Z Z
*proposal,* and plans with them that they should rebel against the great Kaan. And
they do it with the *consent and* goodwill of all the people *of the cities and villages of* Z R
the province, for they rebel against the great Kaan and *were willing to* obey him in FB
nothing, *and made their captain that Liitan who was come from the lord to guard and protect* FB
*them.* And when the great Kaan knows this he orders there *immediately* two of his FB
*most noble* barons who had for names *the one* Agiul and *the other* Mongatai, and with VB FB FB
them he sends quite a hundred thousand horsemen *and many on foot.* And why should VB
I make you a long story? You may know quite truly that *when Liitan Sangon knew* VB
*of the coming of the said two captains with so great an army he too made ready his people, and*
*with no less number than that of the great Kaan, and came as fast as he could to the encounter;*
*and when the two armies had found one another* these two barons with *all* their people FB
fought with Liitan who was a rebel and with all the people *on his side* whom he can FB
assemble *from the country round,* who were indeed about a hundred thousand horsemen FB
and a very great quantity of men on foot. *They were fighting hand to hand with great* VB
*slaughter on one side and on the other;* but such was the luck³ that *in the end* Liitan lost V
the battle and was killed there with many others *in the battle. And when the captain* VB
*was dead the whole host took to flight, and as the Tartars followed them a great quantity were*
*killed and many taken.·And so the two barons whom the lord had sent had the victory,·and* FB Z
*they quickly defeated Liitan with his army.·And when the great Kaan knew this he was very* FB
*glad because of it.* And after that Liitan was discomfited and dead the great Kaan
