Barutus has given Rohardus 225 besants and has paid homage [hominium fecisti] for the drugomanagia.

When he visits one of the casalia the villani will provide victuals for him and his horse. When he travels outside the casalia with his lord, the latter will provide only for his horse. If he loses the horse in the service of his lord [in servitio domni] the latter will give him 15 besants. For every 100 modii harvested [de annona] communally by the lord and villani, Barutus will receive 6 modii, or less in proportion to the harvest.
