Note 1 — IX Here it is treated of an argument and a judgment that took place in Alexandria

Edward Storer translation

A townsman of Bari went on a pilgrimage, and left three hundred byzantines1 to a friend on these conditions: I shall make my journey as God wills, and should I not return you will give this money for the salvation of my soul, but if I return within a certain time, you shall return me the money, keeping back what you will. The pilgrim went on his pilgrimage, came back at the established time and demanded his byzantines back.
