Notes		 CHAPTER XXIII:  MARRIAGE [p.77]

THEY take as many women as they can support, like the Moors, although, as has been said, one is the principal one or wife. The sons of this one inherit while the others do not, and formerly they were considered bastards. In the nuptials with the principal woman they have some ceremonies which they were not accustomed to have with the others.
