My two brothers, moved by my example, gave him each a thousand ducats, so that there was left for my father four thousand ducats in money, besides three thousand, the value of the portion that fell to him which he preferred to retain in land instead of selling it.
Mis dos hermanos, movidos de mi ejemplo, cada uno le dio mil ducados: de modo que a mi padre le quedaron cuatro mil en dineros, y más tres mil, que, a lo que parece, valía la hacienda que le cupo, que no quiso vender, sino quedarse con ella en raíces.
