King Alfonso,-he who first instituted the Order of the Band or Scarf in Spain, amongst other rules of the order, gave them this, that they should never ride mule or mulet, upon penalty of a mark of silver; this I had lately out of Guevara's Letters. Whoever gave these the title of Golden Epistles had another kind of opinion of them than I have.
Alfonso erregeak, Espainian Bandako edo Eskarapelako zaldunen ordena eraiki zuenak, beste arauen artean, manatu zuen mandar edo mandeme gainean ez ibiltzeko, zilarrezko marko bateko isunaren zigorpean, Guevararen gutunetan ikasi berri dudan bezala, eta gutun haiei urrezkoak deitu dietenek nik ez bezala deritzete.
