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 documents, unless, indeed, the 1000 _lire_ in § 5 of Maffeo Junior’s Will be the like; but I have some doubt if such lire are intended in either case. [3] “(Resolved) That grace be granted to the respectable MARCO PAULO, relieving him of the penalty he has incurred for neglecting to have his water-pipe examined, seeing that he was ignorant of the order on that subject.” (See _Appendix C._ No. 3.) The other reference, to M. Polo, of S. Geremia, runs as follows:— [_MCCCII. indic. XV. die VIII. Macii q̄ fiat grā Gūillō aurifici q̄ ipe absolvat a pena ī qua dicit icurisse p̄ uno spōtono sibi iūeto veuiēdo de Mestre p̄p̄e domū Macī Pauli de Canaregio ūi descenderat ad bibendū._] “That grace be granted to William the Goldsmith, relieving him of the penalty which he is stated to have incurred on account of a spontoon (_spontono_, a loaded bludgeon) found upon him near the house of MARCO PAULO of Cannareggio, where he had landed to drink on his way from Mestre.” (See _Cicogna_, V. p. 606.) [4] _Sansovino, Venezia, Città Nobilissima e Singolare, Descritta_, etc., Ven. 1581, f. 236 _v._; _Barbaro, Alberi; Coronelli, Allante Veneto_, I. 19. [5] The word _Millio_ occurs several times in the Chronicle of the Doge Andrea Dandolo, who wrote about 1342; and _Milion_ occurs at least once (besides the application of the term to Polo) in the History of Giovanni Villani; viz. when he speaks of the Treasury of Avignon:— “_diciotto_ milioni _di fiorini d’oro_ ec. _che ogni_ milione _è mille migliaja di fiorini d’ oro la valuta_.” (xi. 20, § 1; _Ducange_, and _Vocab. Univ. Ital._). But the definition, thought necessary by Villani, in itself points to the use of the word as rare. _Domilion_ occurs in the estimated value of houses at Venice in 1367, recorded in the _Cronaca Magna_ in St. Mark’s Library. (_Romanin_, III. 385).
