Text: Tumbir Treaty.



"In the name of God, the merciful and compassionate, this document is granted by ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn Musá ibn Nusair to Tudmir, son of Ghabdush, establishing a treaty of peace and the promise and protection of God and his Prophet. I (Musá) will not set special conditions for him or for any among his men, neither harass him, neither remove him from power. His followers will not be killed or taken prisoner, neither  they will be separated from their women and children. They will not be coerced in matters of religion, their churches will not be burned, neither will sacred objects be taken from the realm, as long as Tudmir remains sincere and fulfills the conditions that I have set for him. He has control the settlement of seven towns: Orihuela, Villena, Alicante, Mula, Bigastro, Ello, and Lorca. He will not give shelter to fugitives, neither to our enemies, neither encourage any protected person to fear us, neither hide news of our enemies. He and his men shall pay one dinar every year and four measures of wheat, four measures of barley, four liquid measures of concentrated fruit juice, four liquid measures of vinegar, four of honey, and four of olive oil. Slaves must pay half of this amount.
