Note 3 — IV How a jongleur lamented before Alexander the conduct of a knight, to whom he had made a gift on condition that the knight should give him whatsoever Alexander might present him with1

Then Alexander smiled, and ordered that the knight should be given two thousand silver marks.3 And this was set down for the smallest gift which Alexander ever made. The knight took the marks and handed them to the jongleur. The latter came before Alexander, and with great insistence asked that he should be heard, and so much he argued that he had the knight arrested.
