When Messere Castellano of Mantua was the governor [150] of Florence,
there arose a quarrel between Messer Pepo Alemanni and Messer Cante
Caponsacchi, so that they threatened one another direly.
Wherefore the governor, to put an end to the difference, sent them both
over the frontier. Messer Pepo he sent in one direction and Messer
Cante, since he was a great friend of his, he sent to Mantua. And he
recommended him to his family; and Messere Cante rewarded him in this
way: he lay with his wife.
