Savigny, Geschichte des römischen Rechts im Mittelalter, 1834, i. 36. Quoted by Rump, ix. 72. Ep. xi. 2: Sedes illa toto orbe mirabilis licet generalis mundo sit prædita. Nov. cxxxi. c. 2: thespizomen ton hagiôtaton tês presbyteras Rhômês papan prôton einai pantôn tôn hiereôn.... tê gnômê kai orthê krisei tou ekeinou sebasmiou thronou katêrgêthêsan. Photius, p. 156.
On the way a stop is made at Balik Papan, the great oil-producing centre, with its numerous and well-appointed tanks and modern equipment, reminding one of a thriving town in America. One of the doctors in this prosperous place told me that his two children of four and six years enjoyed excellent health.
The straight silvery column of the Papan fig, crowned with a canopy of large indented leaves; and the wild orange tree, mixed with the odoriferous and common laurel, form striking ornaments of this enchanting scene, with many other lovely flowers too numerous to describe. There is another charm that enchants the wanderer in the American woods.
After the leaves have been all placed in order and stuck on, bit by bit, a solder is prepared of gold filings and borax, moistened with water, which they strew or daub over the plate with a feather, and then putting it in the fire for a short time the whole becomes united. This kind of work on a gold plate they call karrang papan: when the work is open, they call it karrang trus.
