[Untitled][edit]

Two passages in the Catalan-language version of this article have me confused; I have left them out, pending clarification:

1. "S'hi trobà un Mars Balearicus, un deu dels primitius balears, molt bons foners, que amb els cartaginesos, van ser soldats. No volien cobrar en moneda, demanaven pels seus serveis dones, i vi."
As far as I can follow it, this means "There was found [no mention of by whom or where] a Mars Balearicus, a god of the primitive Balears, or better Phoenicians, who went to be Carthaginian soldiers. They did not want to be paid in coins, they demanded skins for their services, and wine." The relevance to this particular article is unstated.
2. "Segons una rondalla recollida per l'Arxiduc Lluís Salvador d'Àustria a Sa Coma hi ha un negret que dona un munt d'or a qui el trobi. Per trobar-lo l'han d'anar a cercar amb el foc nou."
I can't work out the relevance to the article; this could be, in part, because I'm not sure I follow the sentence, and there is no reference to give me broader context. To the best of my understanding, it says "According to a roundelay [that's what this rather obscure word means in Spanish, but maybe it's something else in Catalan] collected by Austrian Archduke Luis Salvador in Sa Coma [another Majorcan town], there was a "negret" [no idea what this word means, I know it only as a proper noun, presumably derives from "negre" (black)] who [or which] would give a heap of gold to whoever found it [or him]. To find it [or him], one had to get close to the new fire [I have no idea what else "foc nou" could mean, and this makes little sense]." The Austrian Archduke Luis Salvador certainly spent time on Majorca, but the precise significance of the this obscure story and the relevance to this particular town is not apparent. I've left it out of the English-language article until someone can clarify. Maybe something to do with the Holy Grail, which many legends associate with Majorca?
