ET promisit dictus santillus conductor Dictos boves dicto tempore perduring bene et diligenter gubernare, acquare, feeding et conserve de die et de nocte a lupis ramo ditch et omni Mala Guardia; Et ubi Mori contingerit culpa his teneatur inmediate ad dictum pretii restitutionem, Ubi Morte natural moriantur dicto Domino Cesari et in fine dikti temporis restitere dictos boves receptabiles ut decet..
