U radu se na temelju arhivskih i terenskih istraživanja donose nove spoznaje o luneti portala s nekadašnje kuće obitelji Garbin u Zadru, danas ugrađenoj u kuću u Ulici Mate Karamana. Preciznije se blazonira grb u luneti portala te ga se dovodi u vezu s kapetanom zadarskih topnika Grgurom Garbinom. Plemićka obitelj Garbin podrijetlom je iz Paga, a jedna grana prešla je početkom 17. stoljeća u Zadar. Zaključuje se da je luneta portala izrađena malo nakon 1609. godine kada prema arhivskim dokumentima Grgur Garbin kupuje kuću u blizini samostana sv. Dimitrija u Zadru. Utvrđuje se položaj kuće te se donose novi arhivski podatci iz života Grgura Garbina i njegovih potomaka. Saznaje se da je njegov sin Ivan Grgur (Zan Gregorio) zanimanjem bio zlatar.On the basis of the conducted archival and field research, the author presents new knowledge regarding the portal lunette earlier home of the Garbin family in Zadar, today built into the front facade of the house in Mate Karaman Street. The author describes the coat of arms in the portal lunette, and consequently – since it shows a cannon and a male head with the characteristic hat – brings it into connection with Grgur Garbin, captain of the Zadar artillerymen. In the 17th century, this type of hat – decorated with long feathers and identical to the one on Garbin’s grave – made an integral part of the uniform of Venetian commanders holding the rank of captain; this counts for artillery units, too. The noble Garbin family originates from the island of Pag, and one family branch moved to Zadar at the beginning of the 17th century. It is concluded that the portal lunette was built just after the year 1609, when – according to the archival documents – Grgur Garbin had bought a house near the monastery of St. Demetrius in Zadar. The author sets the accurate location of Garbin’s house and brings fresh archival data from the life of Grgur Garbin and his descendants. Record on the death of Grgur Garbin, captain of the Zadar artillerymen, was entered into registry books under the date 25 January 1621, and he was buried in the church of St. Demetrius near his family home. Grgur Garbin had two sons, both born in Zadar – Marco Antonio, baptised on 29 April 1609, and Ivan Grgur, baptised on 21st March 1611. Based on recent archival research, the author further learned that Garbin’s son Ivan Grgur, who died in Zadar in 1646, was professional goldsmith
