Master Berengar de Cardona to the Commander of Peniscola, Arnaut de Banyuls: complaint of Abduzalem el causseri Sarray; he wanted to free his daughter from captivity with Jacme Pons and already paid 400 out of 450 sol. ransom; now his daughter has been baptized and Jacme Pons does not want to pay the money back; the Commander should take care to have justice done so that the Saracen cannot claim an infringement of law.
