2866. Soon I saw snakes in a kind of courtyard, many of them, creeping, so that the courtyard, which was paved with stones like bricks of a light yellow color, was teeming with them. It was said that they live among such snakes and like them, but that these were not poisonous. 1748, 20 Aug.
2866. (I next saw many serpents [angues] crawling in a sort of court [curia], so that the court which was paved [strata] with stones) as it were of earthenware of light yellow color (brick of a light yellow color), was crowded with such. It is said that [those spirits] live among such [serpents] and love such things, but that those serpents are not venomous. - 1748, August 20.
2866. Visi mihi mox sunt angues in curia quadam, plures, qui repebant, sic ut curia ista quae strata esset lapidibus, quasi fictilibus flavescentibus albe, talibus referta esset, dicebatur, quod inter tales vivant, et talia ament, sed quod angues isti non essent venenati. 1748, 20 Aug.
