"In nomine Dei Eterni Amen. Anno ab Incarnatione Domini Nostri Jesu Christi millesimo trecentesimo undecimo, Mensis Marci die nono, intrante Indicione Nona, Rivoalti ...

"c.u.m coram n.o.bilibus viris Dominis CATHARINO DALMARIO et MARCO LANDO, Judicibus Peticionum, Domino LEONARDO DE MOLINO, tercio Judice curie, tunc absente, inter n.o.bilem Virum MARc.u.m POLO de confinio Sancti Johannis Grisostomi ex una parte, et PAULUM GIRARDO de confinio Sancti Apollinaris ex altera parte, quo ex suo officio verteretur occasione librarum trium _denariorum grossorum Venetorum_ in parte una, quas sibi PAULO GIRARDO petebat idem MARCUS POLO pro dimidia libra muscli quam ab ipso MARCO POLO ipse PAULUS GIRARDO habuerat, et vendiderat precio suprascriptarum Librarum trium _den. Ven. gros._ et occasione _den.

"Ego NICOLAUS, Presbiter Sancti Canciani notarius complevi et roboravi."

6.--(1319).

In a list of doc.u.ments preserved in the Archives of the _Casa di Ricovero_, occurs the entry which follows. But several recent searches have been made for the doc.u.ment itself in vain.

* "No 94 MARCO GALETTI _investe della proprieta dei beni che si trovano in S. Giovanni Grisostomo MARCO POLO di Nicolo. 1319, 10 Settembre, rogato dal notaio Nicolo Prete di S. Canciano_."

The notary here is the same who made the official record of the doc.u.ment last cited.

[This doc.u.ment was kept in the Archives of the _Ist.i.tuto degli Esposti_, now transferred to the _Archivio di Stato_, and was found by the Ab.

Cav. V. Zanetti, and published by him in the _Archivio Veneto_, XVI., 1878, pp. 98-100; parchment, 1157, filza I.; Marco Polo the traveller, according to a letter of the 16th March, 1306, had made in 1304, a loan of 20 _lire di grossi_ to his cousin Nicolo, son of Marco the elder; the sum remaining unpaid at the death of Nicolo, his son and heir Marcolino became the debtor, and by order of the Doge Giovanni Soranzo, Marco Galetti, according to a sentence of the _Giudici del Mobile_, of the 2nd July, transferred to the traveller Marco on the 10th September, 1319, _duas proprietates que sunt hospicia et camere posite in ... confinio sancti Ihoanis grisostomi que fuerunt Nicolai Paulo_. This Doc.u.ment is important, as it shows the exact position of Marcolino in the family.--H.C.]

7.--(1323).

Doc.u.ment concerning House Property in S. Giovanni Grisostomo, adjoining the Property of the Polo Family, and sold by the Lady Donata to her husband Marco Polo. Dated May, 1323.
