Essendo gionte a Gienova le dette galee tenero per la Cicilia e lassorovi grande infermità e mortalità, che l'uno non potea socorare l'altro; e così gionti a Gienova di fatto v'attacoro il detto morbo e per questo tutti quelle navili furono tutti cacciati di Genova.

The galleys of the Genoese returned from overseas and from the city of Romania on the … day of November, and they came back bringing with them a great sickness and corruption of the air which was overseas. For in that land overseas, at that time, a great multitude of people died of disease and pestilence. When the said galleys arrived, they passed by Sicily and left there a great sickness and mortality, such that one person could not help another. And when they arrived at Genoa, the said disease immediately took hold there; and for this reason all those ships were driven out of Genoa.
