Decree to the judge of Chios×:

General [Damian Hugo] Count of Virmont×—may God end his days propitiously—who came to my gate that is the center of state as grand ambassador from the Roman emperor×, the paragon of the great commanders of the community of Messiah, sent a petition to my threshold of felicity [about the following matter]:

Vincenzo Moroni× son of Kurumi (?)has been appointed with my noble charter (berāt) as an interpreter to the Chios× island in my well-protected domains to travel there under the flag of the Roman emperor× and to take care of the affairs and matters of the merchants and subjects of the Roman emperor×. [The ambassador] reported that a glorious charter of mine was handed to (the interpreter) and requested my most noble order that the aforesaid (interpreter) shall have authority over interpretation; others shall be prevented from interfering with it. Upon that, my order has been issued that (the interpreter) should control the matter of interpretation in accordance with the imperial charter.

I command that, when my order that has been issued about that matter arrives, you shall act in accordance with it. You shall have the aforesaid Vincenzo Moroni×, son of Kurumi, have full control on the interpretation matter in accordance with my illustrious charter that is in his possession. From now on, you shall not allow a single person to interfere with or attack in violation of my imperial order. So shall you know.

December 14 to December 23, 1719
