I should also mention that during the preparation of this sincere and polite work I received the support of Mr. Jan Sbera, who, as a thorough expert in the Romanian language and literature, did not refuse his help wherever I needed it.

Me Jo. Mircza, great voivode and lord of the Vlach land and the Trans-Alpine estates belonging to it, I pledge on faith and soul to all merchants and townspeople coming from the country of my Majesty's parent and brother, King Władysław, and especially from the city of Lviv, as well as [merchants and] townspeople coming from the country of my brother, Grand Duke Witold, as anyone who If he wished it, he can come to My Majesty's land with his goods, come freely, trusting in faith and my soul, with as much property as possible, and even with countless thousands. And only in one place, Targowica, if they wish to offer their goods for sale here, they must pay a toll. And having paid it, they have the right to buy from us whatever they want, with the only condition that My Majesty may also buy from them whatever I want. And with what we do not buy, they can travel freely throughout all my land, they can sell and buy at all fairs and at all crossings. Podanube, starting from the Iron Gates in one direction, all the way to Braiłów, and also along all the roads beyond Aipin. And let them not pay tolls anywhere, in any marketplace or at any crossing. And if the toll is leased by My Majesty, let the customs officer transfer the amount due to them to my own account, and let him not dare to collect the toll from them. Wherever it was not leased, it would obviously be less sought after there [by merchants in Polish and Lithuanian lands]. And whoever insults this letter to My Majesty, let him be prepared to suffer a great and severe punishment, as should anyone who does not want to give it due credit. Jo. Mircza, by the grace of God voivode and hospodar '*).
