[G] It is difficult to preserve the full beauty of the original of these
concise verses in a translation; but in attempting this I have found it

[H] About four feet long by two and one-half feet high.
[I] About eight feet long by four and one-half feet high.
[J] About four feet long by about two and one-half feet high.
[K] About six feet long by about three and one-third feet high.

[N] About four and one-quarter feet long by about three feet high.

[Q] Four and one-half feet long by about three feet high.

| Transcriber's Note: Italics are rendered as _underscores_, and |
| accents and ligatures have been removed from the following words: |

| and northwestern. One spelling error was corrected: Acording to |
| According (p. 33, "According to these, Eirek the Red...") |
