[...] Sono stato de novo cum Messer Augustino Gisi. [...] Ei me è stato monstrato una tavola de porfido, qualle non è più grossa de uno deto, neta e bellissima, et è legiera per essere subtille. [...] Uno altro maestro me ha promesso una tavola de meschio verde de la misura me mandò lo anno passato la Celsitudine V., ma bisogna farla segare, e lì andarà tempo.
Raphael da Urbino ha fornito la camera de N. S. Hora vederò se ‘l me observarà la promessa. [...]
