Wild fennel , sheep and salt |
' Moreover the sun burns on that salt so fiercely that it is as white as snow . And it is cut into great blocks , as is done with sods or turves . And when we were there we saw enough cut and ready to load two hundred carts . None can take of this salt without paying the Venetians for it ; it is a valuable revenue to them .' |
