[37] I mean also to take a corps of smiths, carpenters, and cobblers, men of military age, provided with the proper tools, to supply any possible need.

These men will not be in the fighting-line, but they will have a place assigned to them where they can be hired by any one who likes.

[38] If any huckster wishes to follow the army with his wares, he may do so, but if caught selling anything during the fifteen days for which provisions have been ordered, he will be deprived of all his goods: after the fifteen days are done he may sell what he likes.

Any merchant who offers us a well-stocked market will receive recompense and honour from the allies and myself.

[39] And if any one needs an advance of money for trading, he must send me guarantors who will undertake that he will march with the army, and then he can draw on our funds.
