-Antes es al revés; que, como de stultorum infinitus est numerus, infinitos son los que han gustado de la tal historia; y algunos han puesto falta y dolo en la memoria del autor, pues se le olvida de contar quién fue el ladrón que hurtó el rucio a Sancho, que allí no se declara, y sólo se infiere de lo escrito que se le hurtaron, y de allí a poco le vemos a caballo sobre el mesmo jumento, sin haber parecido.
