Fishing-nets and fishermen: Two fishing-nets and a couple of fishermen [pescadores], if they are to be found.
Stamps for the tithes: Stamps for branding the tithes, for those which were sent are out of order; also a small anvil and hammers, for marking the fifths.[1]
Tow: A large quantity of tow, for we have none.
For the main church: Item, we need a pair of chalices with their silver pitchers, two missals, and some altar-cloths and linen for the main church of this city. We need them because all that was sent us was taken by the Augustinian religious, and we are unable to get any of them.

azumbres = 1 arroba mayor or cantara. This arroba equals 4.26304 gallons, and is supposed to contain the weight of 35 libras of pure (i. e., distilled) water. The arroba for oil, however, is only 3.31853 gallons.
The other measures are for dry substances. Hanega is only another form of fanega (= 1.599 bushels), which is described in vol. ii, note 72; the celemin is the same as the almude (note 20, ante). Table: 4 ochavillos = 1 racion; 4 raciones = 1 cuartillo; 2 cuartillos = 1 medio; 2 medios = 1 almude; 12 almudes = 1 fanega; 12 fanegas = 1 cahiz.
