"In the morning of the tenth day of Rajab [3 August), Ibn Baric and his comrades (collegues, associates) returned to the King of England [Richard } while the Sultan went off with his bodyguard and his closest friends to the hill that abuts [borders) on Shefa'Amr... Envoys
[representatives of governments] did not cease to pass from one side to the other in the hope of laying the foundation of a firm peace. These
negotiations continued till our men had procured (gotten by effort] the money and the number of prisoners that they were to deliver to the
Christians at the end of the first period in accordance (agreement] with the treaty. The first installment was to consist of the Holy Cross,
100,000 dinars (gold coins) and 1,600 prisoners."
