Setting out from there, we came to a green land where there were wild men like giants, round bodied with fiery faces, who looked like lions. There were some others with them called Ochlitai who had no hair at all, four cubits high and a spear's length across. And seeing us, they ran at us. They wore lion skins and were extremely strong and quite ready to fight without weapons. We struck them, and they struck us with staves, killing a considerable number of us. I was afraid they were going to rout us; so I gave instructions to set fire to the wood. And when they saw the fire, those fine specimens of men ran away. They killed 180 soldiers of ours. On the following day I decided to visit their caves. We found beasts like lions tethered at their entrances – and they had three eyes. And we saw fleas there leaping about like our frogs.
