Note 2 — Concerning the Prince and the Princess who was Sold
H. (Henry) Parker translation
When this Prince went from that city to another city, he saw that on account of a want of money the King was selling a Princess and two Princes of the King of the city; and this Prince having become inclined to take that Princess asked the price for the Princess. The King said, “It is a thousand masuran.” Then when the Prince looked at the account of the masuran which he had, except that there were a thousand masuran by account, there was not even one in excess.2 After that, having been considering and considering it, he gave the thousand masuran, and taking the Princess, went away. That this Prince is a royal Prince no one knows.
