Et, de part Lanbertaciorum, iverunt ad confinia 15 quadraginta quinque, secundum sentenciam summi pontificis; aliqui ex eis iverunt Pisas, et aliqui Mantuam, nomination quorum fuerunt hec. Andreas filius condam of Castellani de Andalo ... Dominus Passavante domains Munsarelli. Dominis Odericus de Castro Britonum ...
