Text on source
Andassimo per grande amicitia et interesse a vedere la Chiesa di Santa Sofia, hora moschea, nella quale non lasciano entrare alcun Christiano, doppo che pochi mesi avanti, havevano udito sonare una campana nella medesima chiesa, mentre facevano oratione, che udito il sono li levorono dell'oratione andando a guardare per tutta la chiesa, mà non viddero nè campana, nè gente alcuna.
