text: Aug. 31. Melfi. Frederick, dei gracia Romanorum imperator semper augustus Iherusalem et Sicile rex, records under seal that frater Goffridus Balianus, representing the magister and brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, came into his presence and asked that the castle of Ascalon be committed to the Order’s care and that it be repaid any necessary expenses. Mindful of the support the Order has given him overseas, Frederick agrees to this request. He has written to Thomas de Aquino regis Iherosolimitani balius et sacri imperii in partibus transmarinis legatus, ordering him to estimate first, by means of the testimony of one or two suitable subjects, what the expenses are, and then to commit the custody of the castle to the magister and brothers, with the commitment to repay the expenses, on his behalf and on that of his son Conrad, Romanorum in regem electus semper augustus et regni Iherosolimitani heres. If the Hospitallers of St John should lose the castle after an assault and long siege, and not through blame or negligence, their costs will be repaid.

Johan de Gibeleth, the son of the late Guillaume de Gibeleth, records under seal that he has reached agreement with the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, represented by frere Guillaume de Chasteauneuf maistre, over a dispute about the grinding [moiture] of his mill called the molin de la Mer, which the Order claimed he had given as an eleemosynary grant to its commandery [maison] in Tripoli. He confirms that the commandery [maison] in Tripoli can grind freely each week 100 marcibans of wheat, of the measure of the port of Tripoli, for the brothers, the sick and its household [mahnée], employing the first grindstone at the mill that it finds unused. If the full measure cannot be ground in one week, it can be made up the next, but should there be a failure through the fault of the brothers or their men, or because the mill breaks down, the amount cannot be recovered. Guarantors: Hue de Gibeleth; Johan de Farabel sire dou Pui; Hue de Balaiz; Johan Dedde.
