In the fourth day of November 1354, the noble Lord Pagano Doria with 31 Genoese galleys, at the Island of Sapienza, fought and took 36 Venetian galleys and four ships, and led to Genoa 1400 men alive as captives with their captain." The third inscription deals again with a defeat of the Venetian fleet, by Luciano Doria in 1379. It reads as follows: "To the glory of God and the Blessed Mary.
