		They claim that five generations had passed since the letters were originally penned, so their condition, the faded handwriting and the obscure references contained within meant the editor was working with documents he may have had difficulty reading and did not fully understand.
		Upon their return, the reconnaissance party informed Zichmni that the smoke was a natural phenomenon, billowing from a fire at the base of a nearby hill.
		Zichmni, claims the narrative, remained, with the intention of creating a settlement and continuing his exploration of the New World.

		In particular, he has been identified by some historians as possibly being the prince Zichmni described in letters by the brothers Nicolo and Antonio Zeno of Venice.
		According to the letters, Antonio served as the admiral of Zichmni's fleet during a expedition throughout the North Atlantic in the year 1398.

	Earl Henry Sinclair's fictitious trip to America, by Brian Smith
		Zichmni employs Nicolò as a pilot, and the Venetian refugee plays such a valiant part in the conquest of the island that Zichmni ennobles him.
		As we have seen, Zeno says that Zichmni's attack on Shetland was a failure, and that he headed north to attack seven mythical islands on the east side of Iceland instead: Bres, Mimant, Talas etc. Major is having none of that.
		'"Zichmni"', he wrote in a work of 1950, 'is a not-too-remote misreading of "Siclair" or "Siclaro" in fourteenth century script.' (49) Then, just when we had got used to that, he changed his mind.

		Zichmni had a fleet consisting of thirteen vessels, two of which only were galleys, the rest being small barks, and only one of the whole was a ship[4].
		Upon this Zichmni sailed from the harbour, as if meaning to go away from the island; but being in want of wood and water, he skirted along the coast at some distance, and put into another harbour on the eastern side of the island with all his fleet.
		We here procured refreshments from the inhabitants, who were subject to Zichmni, and sailed thence in three days to Frisland, where we were received with great joy, as the people thought, in consequence of our long absence, that their prince and the whole armament had been lost.

		On the contrary, historians have established the fact that Nicolò spent the greater part of his life in the public service of Venice, including the years when he is supposed to have been with Zichmni.
		The most widely accepted identification is that made by J. Forster in 1784 when he argued that Zichmni was actually Henry Sinclair, 1st earl of the Orkneys, who was born in 1350 and died in 1404.
		Even if one overlooks the absurd contents of the Zeno narrative, there is not a shred of evidence, as F. Lucas conclusively showed in 1898, to suggest that Henry Sinclair made any transatlantic voyages (not to mention the discovery of Nova Scotia) or that he had either Nicolò or Antonio at his court.

	Re: Henry Sinclair's 'voyage' to America
		Furthermore any Orkney connection depends entirely on believing that achief by the name of 'Zichmni' was none other than Henry Sinclair,the name 'Zichmni' being optimistically interpreted as a rendering either of 'Sinclair' or 'D'Orkney'.
		If Earl Henry was actually Zichmni who playsa central part in the story, it is somewhat surprising that Orkney is neither mentioned ijn the narrative nor shown on the Zeno map,although the name 'Orcades' had been universally known ever since Roman times.
		As well as the voyage to America, the narrative credits Zichmni with campaigns supposedly fought in islands which have been identified as Shetland and/or Faroe, and this adds an entirely fictional element to Henry's Viking image.
