no, living at Negropont, 100. To Agnes, wife of Pietro Lion, 100; and to Francis, son of the late Pietro Trevisano, in Negropont, 100. 10. To buy Public Debt producing an annual 20 _lire ai grossi_ to be paid yearly to Pietro Pagano, Priest of S. Felice, who shall pray for the souls aforesaid: on death of said Pietro the income to go to Pietro's cousin Lionardo, Clerk of S. Felice; and after him always to the senior priest of S. Giovanni Grisostomo with the same obligation. 11. Should his wife prove with child and bear a son or sons they shall have his whole property not disposed of. If a daughter, she shall have the same as Fiordelisa. 12. If he have no male heir his Brother Marco shall have the Testator's share of his Father's bequest, and 2000 _lire_ besides. Cousin Nicolo shall have 500 _lire_, and Uncle Maffeo 500. 13. Should Daughter Fiordelisa die unmarried her 2000 _lire_ and interest to go to his male heir, and failing such to Brother Marco and his male heir. But in that case Marco shall pay 500 _lire_ to Cousin Nicolo or his male heir. 14. Should his wife bear him a male heir or heirs, but these should die under age, the whole of his undisposed property shall go to Brother Marco or his male heir. But in that case 500 _lire_ shall be paid to Cousin Nicolo. 15. Should his wife bear a daughter and she die unmarried, her 2000 _lire_ and interest shall go to Brother Marco, with the same stipulation in behalf of Cousin Nicolo. 16. Should the whole amount of his property between cash and goods not amount to 10,000 _lire_ (though he believes he has fully as much), his bequests are to be ratably diminished, except those to his own children which he does not wish diminished. Should any legatee die before receiving the bequest, its amount shall fall to the Testator's heir male, and failing such, the half to go to Marco or his male heir, and the other half to be distributed for the good of the souls aforesaid. The witnesses are Lionardo priest of S. Felice, Lionardo clerk of the same, and the Notary Pietro Pagano priest of the same. [2] According to Romanin (I. 321) the _lira dei grossi_ was also called _Lira d'imprestidi_, and if the _lire_ here are to be so taken, the sum will be 10,000 ducats, the largest amount by far that occurs in any of these Polo doc
