[158] The lengua franca is the trade-jargon of the Orient. The original of the passage above is as follows: "Deó grande nopillar fantacia; mondo cosi cosi; si estar escrito in testa andar andar; sino acá morir." M. reads "an andar andar," and has other slight differences. D. reads "ha (de) andar" and has also other slight differences.
