servulum Vestrae Serenitatis. Illustris dominus meus, dominus comes de Corduba 3 omnia alia ex ordine referre poterit. Exiguntur quidem istae decimae, sicut Vestra Serenitas ab ipso intelliget, sed in his quoque parva est spes ponenda, si Deus pacem aut indutias inter principes non posuerit, tota salutis communis ratio in hac una re posita esse videtur.
