Libbre 2 e once 2 di seta al peso di Pera fanno in Lucca libbre 2, cioè una coppia a che si vende seta in Lucca, ...
Two pounds, two ounces of silk in Pera make 2 libbre in Lucca, that is to say 1 coppia, by which they sell silk in Lucca.

Assuming 100 Florentine libbre = 102 libbre in Lucca (per Chiarini), and a Florentine libbra is about @ grams, the coppia is about @ grams.
