   • c. 1250, Alfonso X, Lapidario, f. 16r:

     Et aun faz al que el que la trae conſigo. fazel perder el miedo que los om̃es an de noche quando eſtan ſenneros.

     And what it also does to he who has it with him is that it makes him lose the fear that men feel when they are alone at night.

   • Idem, f. 17v.

     Et a tal uertud que el que la trae conſigo nol acaeſce la ymagination aq̃ llaman los oḿes demonio. nin a miedo por eſtar el om̃e ſennero de noche en tiniebra.

     And its virtue is such that he who has it with him does not suffer the imagined thing men call a demon; nor is he afraid to be alone at night, in the dark.

• Spanish: señero
