30 a knows ®) they give i)0 three cents from the fine; and do not take fish for a toll but do not take the car with you. And in Seret they give from a fine to one and a half grosz; and do not take fish for toll from a cart. And in Chernivtsi they pay the same toll for the fish cart as for any other cart; and don't take the fish. And when the inhabitants of Lviv bring cloth or any goods with them, let no one dare to take a single cubit from them by force, without money or without will, neither the customs officer, nor the boyars, nor even ourselves. And if we need cloth or any other goods, in larger or smaller quantities, we, or our tax collectors, are obliged to bargain for it from them and, having paid for it, take what we need. We also have the right to buy melted silver from them, which the inhabitants of Lviv will bring from Hungary with them when we need it, for ready money; and whatever is left, they are allowed to take out of the country. And they are also allowed to take Muntan wax and Hungarian wax out of the country, with the reservation, however, that at the border toll in Bąków, and respectively in Berlad or Banya, they will pay one grosz per stone, in Suceava also one grosz per stone, and in Seret one grosz. And Hungarian martens can be exported from the country provided that the border toll in Banya or Bąków is paid by merchants from Lviv, etc. one and a half cents per fine, in Suceava three cents per fine and in Seret one and a half cents per fine. But we also have the right to buy these martens from them when we need them for ready money, so they can only take away what is left. Moreover, we allowed the inhabitants of Lviv to maintain their own house in Suceava according to merchant custom, with the reservation that they should not set up an inn, butcher shop or brewery in this house. However, if the person who will be in charge of this house still wishes to maintain the things mentioned here, let him make arrangements for them with the city. And we did this primarily for the merchants of Lviv, as for the subjects of our hospodar and the Polish king, and for the merchants of the entire Russian land and Podolia. And all that we have specified above, we vow to keep them eternally and to fulfill without any deceit or cunning for ever and ever - we and our descendants - and never to violate them, in our honor and faith, according to St. Christian law. And the witnesses of this were: the highest royal council, gentlemen Mikołaj Predbor and Sędomirski, who were with us at that time as an ambassador from our lord and king; and our gentlemen, the Moldovan council, namely: Mr. Duma Brajewicz, Mr. Stanczu, Mr. Piotr Chancellor "), Mr. Bajczan, Mr. Wana Pynticz, Mr. lioste [Konstanty] Danowicz, Mr. Koźma Szandrowicz, Mr. Szczybor the courtier, Mr. Piotr pyrkałab "), Mr. Danczu pyrkałab, Mr. Mikołaj postelnik "), and finally the gentlemen and councilors from Lviv, who were staying with us at that time and arranged this matter with us, whose names were: Mr. Bilik, Mr. Fridrich, Mr. Nikel Abrik, Mr. Juń, Mr. Corim Bark, Mr. Prokop, Mr. K^unce, Mr. Martin Bure, Mr. Kaspar, Mr. Misko the writer. And for even greater confirmation of everything written here, we ordered our faithful logothet Peter to issue this letter and attach our seal to it. Teodor Prodanowicz wrote in Suceava in the summer of 6964, in the month of June, on the 29th day.
