Sept. 26. Genoa. Before the house of Jacharia de Castro. Simon Bufferius major confirms that he received from Simon Bufferius junior 15 librae and 15 solidi Januenses, in payment of the eighth [of revenue], which Simon junior neglected to receive and collect on his behalf from the court of the kingdom of Jerusalem [curia regis Syriae], in place of the fief [feudum] he ought to have been given by the said court. For the 15 librae and 15 solidi, Symon major promises to give Simo, junior, either personally or through a representative, 3 Saracen besants [saracinales de Syria] for every libra within the next 2 months, from the profits for the commune of Genoa [pro dacitis et avariis de communi Januae], after the ship [navis] called St Lucas reaches the Levant [ultra mare].
