. August 1-31. Caesarea. King Louis of France writes to the prudentibus viris, consilio et communitati civium Januensium present on this side of the sea. His magister balistariorum [Thibaud de Montliard] has passed to him 120 paria litterarum (letters of exchange) made out to various members of their commune, recovered from a pirate vessel recently captured by his galleys. Having taken advice the king has retained 55 as being ‘vana’ and is forwarding the rest that are worthy of credence to the commune.
