Sancti Petri thermae

Rus est ab Ebano fere per miliare distans, Sanctus Petrus
nominatum, olim potens ac delectabile, quo quidem in loco
terme sunt aluminose, salse multum que sic sua salsedine et aluminositate his videntur egritudinibus conferre, de quibus in his
que de Ebano scripta fuerunt, et potenciores esse iudicantur.

Hay un pueblo a casi 1 milla de Abano, llamado San Pietro,
antaño potente y placentero, en el que hay unas termas aluminosas y muy saladas que por su salinidad y aluminosidad 435 son
útiles contra las enfermedades descritas al hablar de las de Abano,
siendo consideradas incluso más potentes.
