Your Glory has informed Us that the inhabitants of the town of Syndics, and the Jews of the Island of Tyre, are violating Our Constitution by contracting unlawful marriages, without giving up the fourth of their property, in accordance with the laws enacted on this subject; and that many of them, who have already passed the greater part of their lifetime, and have children, are begging, in tears, not to be compelled to separate from their wives, and that the latter, as well as their children already born, and those who may hereafter come into the world, shall be their lawful successors, without their having any reason to apprehend punishment for their breach of the laws.

  Therefore, We order by way of indulgence and remission of the penalties which they have incurred that each of them shall pay ten pounds of gold (but this favor is granted to them alone), and they shall have as their legal successors their wives, their children both born and unborn, without, however, what We now decree being considered a precedent for others, as everyone else who may ask similar indulgence from Us is hereby notified that he will not obtain it; he will lose his property; and, though no corporeal punishment will be inflicted upon him, he shall be exiled for life. But none of those persons to whom We grant this privilege, their wives, or their children who are now living or who may hereafter be born, shall have their property interfered with either by virtue of a judicial decree, or for any other reason whatsoever.

  Therefore Your Glory will see that the provisions which We have been pleased to insert in this present law, which contains an act of Our special indulgence, is carried into effect.
