He grants safe-conduct to all Venetian merchants and their merchandise. They should pay dues of 6 per cent on all merchandise they buy or sell in Aleppo, except cotton, which is charged by the load. On all merchandise they export they should similarly pay 6 per cent, but specific dues are owed on cloth [draparia], spices and cotton, and on merchandise in the fondicum outside the city, payable at the bridge [pons] where taxes are collected. The amounts owed for camel- or pack-horse loads of pepper, cotton, silk and wood [rama] are reduced. The goods of Venetians who die in Aleppan territory are protected. The Venetians can use the fondicum at the bridge as a lodging house. At Latakia they ought to have a church, fondicum, curia, bailulus and oven; and in Aleppo a fondicum, curia and baiulus. The baiulus can settle disputes among Venetians. A special emir, at present Bedardinus Moamedar, will hear complaints made in the diwan [duana]. Goods involved in any shipwreck at Latakia or Zibellum or elsewhere are protected. Venetian merchants will not suffer in general if a Venetian commits robbery.
