NOTE 8.–The expressions about the sable run in the G. T., ‘_et l”apellent
les Tartarz les_ roi des pelaines,’ etc. This has been curiously
misunderstood both in versions based on Pipino, and in the Geog. Latin and
Crusca Italian. The Geog. Latin gives us ‘_vocant eas Tartari_ Lenoidae
Pellonae’; the Crusca, ‘_chiamanle li Tartari_ Leroide Pelame’; Ramusio in
a very odd way combines both the genuine and the blundered interpretation:
‘_E li Tartari la chiamano_ Regina delle Pelli; _e gli animali si
chiamano_ Rondes.’ Fraehn ingeniously suggested that this _Rondes_ (which
proves to be merely a misunderstanding of the French words _Roi des_) was
a mistake for _Kunduz_, usually meaning a ‘beaver,’ but also a ’sable.’
(See _Ibn Foszlan_, p. 57.) _Condux_, no doubt with this meaning, appears
coupled with _vair_, in a Venetian Treaty with Egypt (1344), quoted by
Heyd. (II. 208.)
