And don Pareja fulfilled his oath, because neither in life nor in death ????after his daughter did nothing worth a farthing??
And Mr. Raimundo Pareja carried out his oath to the letter because neither in life nor in death did he give afterwards to his daughter a single item of value.

The lace of Flandes that adorned her wedding shirt cost dos mil setecientos duros, according to the signature of Bermejo, who ?? copied the date of the secret relation de Ulloa y don Jorge Juan.
The Flemish lace that adorned the wedding gown cost 2,700 duros (13,500 pesetas), according to what Bermejo says, who appears to have transcribed this wedding date unbeknownst to Ulloa and Mr. Jorge Juan.

Item, the yarn that fit the neck was a chain of bright,valued at thirty thousand bucks.
Note: The round lace that was fitted around her neck was a brilliant needlework, valued at 30,000 pesos
Notes:
Ad pedem litterae is not Spanish, it is a Latin phrase that basically means "to the letter" or "precisely" but is even more emphatic because "ad pedem litterae" literally translates to "to the foot of the letter."
cosa que valiera un maravedí more literally translated to "anything that might have been worth even a single maravedí (old Spanish coin). I would thing that a more equivalent U.S. English expression might be "not a single dime" or "not one red cent did he give her."
