burning lights by day ; long raiment, palanquins, umbrellas, 

 drums, trumpets, tambourins, and garlands for the person, 

 and for the roads ; and we permit the free property of 

 seventy-two houses. And we relinquish all rates and cus- 

 toms. Moreover other and whatever taxes paid by the 

 houses in the city to the Royal Exchequer he is exempted 

 from ; and in order to guarantee to him this exemption, w and 

 all the privileges, we have executed this deed on copper- 

 leaves : To Joseph Eabban himself, his male children, his 

 female children, his nephews, and those (the descendants) of 

 his daughters ; in natural succession, so long as the earth 

 and the moon remain. Sri ! I witness this deed, &c. Sec. 

 &c."
