1638. The merchants mappe of commerce wherein by Lewes Roberts.

The trade of Sclavonia is at this day but of small accompt, and little to our Nation: the two cities of Spallotta and Rhagusa seated therein, merit the principall consideration.

Note that the weights and measures of Spallata doe wholly agree with those in Venetia, therefore I neede not to say further thereof in this place; and by the way, note, that for the weights of Rhagusa, I find this observation made: the 100 Rot. of Alexandria Zero is in Rhagusa 260l^' the 100l^' forfori is in Rhagusa 116 l' the 100 ℞ laidin, is in Rhagusa 165 l' the 100 ℞ of Damietta, is in Rhagusa 120 l', the 100 ℞ of Roma, is in Rhagusa 666 l', the 100 ℞ of Baruti is in Rhagusa 625 l' the 100 ℞ Damasco, is in Rhagusa 600 l', the 100 ℞ of Tripost in Soria, is in Rhagusa 500 l', the 100 ℞ of Alleppo is in Rhagusa 600 l', the 100 ℞ of Rhodes and Gasa, is in Rhagusa 666⅓ l', the 100 ℞ of Cyprus, is in Rhagusa 625 l', the 100 ℞ of Bursia in Natolia, is in Rhagusa 146 l' the 100 ℞ of Constantinople, is in Rhagusa 146 l', and the 100 l' in Rhagusa doth make as followeth:
