Partalopi regained his strength quickly, so that he was
able to go all alone. Urækia now went to find Marmoria, 27

B1 she said, “and do not sorrow any longer now, because
Urækia, the sister of Marmoria, daughter of the king of
Constantinople, has come here now.” She then took Prince
Partalopi by the hand and lead him after that onto the
ship, and after that she brought him to a certain island,
which she had power over, and gave him that castle to
