The Turks have not crossed the Danube yet, because they have few ships, and the Voivnd resists them strongly. The Sultan assured Szapolyai about his good intentions but forbade him helping Petru Ruret) or to accept him in Transylvania. However, he allegedly sent word to the Romanian Voivods that he was going against Szapolyai. - 2. Szapolyai called all Transylvania to amts: Bálint Török is rushing to his aid with a fairly big army: Péter Perényi and everybody from Upper Hungary and the central part of the countty do the same.

Ex alia parte dicitur nuntiasse Moldavo et similiter Transalpino3 omnia his contraria, se non contra eos, sed contra regem loannem hanc expeditionem sumpsisse. Ad regem Poloniae etiam dicitur misisse amicitiam suam ei offerendo. Vid[ea/] Maiestas Vestra, quibus artibus circumvenire hos principes quaerat. 3 quae potuit ... longe velociores om.
