_ 166 _ were worth one “conto” in gold, not counting the houses. Many Arabs who were hiding inside were burnt, including women and children. Others came out half-burnt and were killed by our men, also burnt was a stable which belonged to the captain and where there were 60 saddled horses; and many other horses died in other houses. After the city had been burnt our men went back to see if they could find anything and they still found many riches which the Arabs had concealed in wells and holes the ground before the fight. They also took the artillery from the stockade and the bastion. Afterwards the Viceroy went to fight the Arabs in the mountains, for that is where they had fled to. He deployed his men in rows, carrying shields, and behind each row placed some crossbowmen. As they moved forward in this way they caused great harm to the enemy, who kept throwing stones and lances, but to no avail. Our men made them run away, sacked the houses which they had on the hills and burnt them. Some captives who were taken here told the Viceroy that five leagues from there upriver there was a large and wealthy town, and so the Viceroy went there with the galleys and the brig, but he found no such place and came back.
