Pro Benotio pictore Item quoniam Benotius pictor incepit pingere certam fìguram Numptiate pro domina Gianna Gregorii, quam propter proxime futuram [sic] revolu­tionem status et novitatem non vult prosequi, unde dictus Benotius offert finire dictum opus inceptum omnibus suis expensis excepto quam de coloribus etc.. qui superstites fatto inter eos sollempni colloquio et ratiocinio, matura deliberatione prehabita, deliberaverunt et statuerunt quod dictum opus prosequatur et quod camerarius mictat colores et dictus Benotius operas et magisterium suum, et quod destruat arma Gianne et ponat arma et signum fabrice.
