| Commentary | Reference to captive's tale; when Agi Morato discovers that his daughter was running away by her own will, he throws himself into the sea, but the captive and the other Christians rescue him; "acudimos luego todos, y, asiéndole de la almalafa, le sacamos medio ahogado y sin sentido" (41:1).
