[6.] Praeterea qualiter scripserit ad me dominus cancellarius, ut Kapolnay omnia 35 ablata restituam, ex scedula praesentibus inclusa8 Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima intelliget, qui et nuntiaverat. Ego autem prout Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima iussit, in hoc et in omnibus conquievi, et omnia ipsi Kapolnay restitui. Quid tamen commoditatis de damnis Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae iuxta concordiam per dominum cancellarium cum ipso Kapolnay initam sentiamus, me omnino latet. Deus 40 Vestram Reverendissimam Dominationem dignetur felicissimam atque incolumem conservare.

There is no peace between the two Hungarian kings yet, even though in this situation the whole countiy is doomed. - 4. He has lots of trouble with the enemy in Pécs just as well as with his compatriots.
