Habiéndose partido el mercader que se había despedido de sus parientes y de su casa, o padre o madre o mujer o los hijos, todo aquel tiempo que estaba ausente no lavaban la cabeza ni la cara sino de ochenta a ochenta días. En esto daban a ente[nd]er que hacían penitencia por su hijo o por su marido o por su padre que estaba ausente. Bien se lavaban el cuerpo en este tiempo; pero no la cabeza, hasta la venida de aquel que esperaban. Y si por ventura muría allá, primero lo sabían los mercaderes viejos, y ellos lo iban a decir a la casa del muerto para que le llorasen y para que le hiciesen sus obsequias y honras como ellos acostumbraban. Y entonces iban todos los parientes del muerto a visitar y a consolar a la mujer o padre o madre del muerto. Y después de cuatro días hechas las obsequias, lavaban la cara y xabonaban la cabeza. Decían que quitaban la tristeza.
\nY si por ventura aquel mercader le habían muerto sus enemigos, en sabiéndolo los de su casa hacían su estatua de teas ata[das]
