Capta.
Cum comparuerint ad presentiam nostri Dominii aliqui fideles nostri de Rubino reverenter exponentes nomine comunitatis sue Rubini quod tempore adversitatis guerre Ianuensis nuper preterite, dum Ianuenses caperent terram illam, abstulerunt corpus beate Euphomie et conduxerunt illud Clugiam, quod a septingentis annis circa dicti fideles nostri habuerunt in suum caput, ut omnibus est manifestum, et quod postea tempore reccuperationis Clugie per nobilem virum ser Saracenum Dandalo dictum corpus conductum fuit Venetias et positum in ecclesia sancti Canciani, et humiliter supplicant ut dignetur nostrum Dominium—considerato quod, ut supradictum est, sancta Euphemia predicta est eorum caput et in dicta terra ecclesia sua est ecclesia principalis et sub nomine et vocabulo sancte predicte facta—dictum corpus eisdem fidelibus nostris restituere et dare;
et pium et iustum sit complacere dictis nostris fidelibus in suis iustis requisitionibus, habita consideratione per quem modum corpus predictum fuit inde extractum et conductum Clugiam, videlicet per guerram deffendendo nostram honorem,
vadit pars, quod dictum corpus sancte Eufomie predicte eisdem fidelibus nostris detur et restituatur, ita quod illud possint conducere ad terram nostram Rubini ut primo erat et cetera.
