[edit] Clues
None used previous cipher methods
[edit] The Solution
First the 11.14.1.1 was found to be a G which equals an A and 11.6.2.3 was found to be an O which equals a B. Replacing the 11.14.1.1 and 11.6.2.3 with the string of A's and B's can be entered in an encoder/decoder like this one: http://www.purplehell.com/riddletools/bacon.htm
In doing so the message is decoded as:
ACROSS THE COUNTY OF OUR FALLEN SAVIOR THAT FREER OF MEN THAT FIERCE HECTOR OF OUR TROY MY JOURNEY POINTED ME TOWARDS THE WHITE CITADEL OF HE THAT DIDST SPEAR THE SERPENT
This, like the first cipher, the second cipher, and the third cipher may prove to hold clues to the treasure.
