Maisre Denis Possot, a priest of Coulommiers in Brie, reached a village in Larnaca:

Friday, June 14, when we reached the port of Lazarus we paid our guide and captain for our victuals and for the fare due to him each seven ducats, and came to a village half a mile form Larnacha, where we lodged. Saturday, 15 June, I sang mass in the church of our Lady. We saw two camels, which had big tails, tall bodies, long necks, little ears like a hare and small nails.
