Transcription: The people of Hua dwell in the middle of the ocean on the mountainous island southeast of Taifeng. The social customs are not lewd. The men wear a band of cloth around their heads exposing the top. When they visit China, they always select a man who does not arrange his hair, does not rid himself of fleas, does not eat meat, and does not approach women. When the voyage turns out propitious, they all lavish on him slaves and other valuables. In case there is any disease or mishap, they kill him.
