And when the Grand Duke knew this he was much displeased, because he loved him much. He had made him seneschal and had betrothed to him a daughter he had had by a lady of Cyprus and who remained with m y Lady the Grand Duchess at Constantinople, and the wedding was to be celebrated on their return to Con­ stantinople. And so they buried En Corberan, with about ten other Christians who had been killed with him, in the church of Saint George, with great solemnity. And they had fine tombs made for them ; the Grand Duke and the host lingered eight days in order that a rich and beautiful tomb should be erected for En Corberan. And from Tyre, the Grand Duke sent a message to Smyrna and from Smyrna to Chios, to the admiral En Ferran de Ahones, to come to the city of Ani with all the galleys and the seamen who were with him ; and so the admiral did.
