text: May 10. Antioch. In the palatium. Rainald [of Châtillon], Dei gratia Antiochenorum princeps, together with Constantia eorumdem principissa, gives the church of St Mary and the archbishop of the city of Pisa, together with all the people from the province of Pisa living in Antioch, represented by their legate Butato, land on which to build a house in the port of Latakia. This land extends below the church of S. Helias, [running] before the houses of the Temple and of magister Ugo to the sea, and along the beach as far as a tannery [teneria] and the old wall and as far as the ditch. If by the judgement of a court the Pisans can recover land in the port that Willelmus Embriacus has occupied, the land described above will be restored to the prince. Rainald also gives the Pisans a house in Antioch, which had belonged to dominus Odo de Tyro. He remits half of all duties levied on Pisan imports and exports, sales and purchases. He assures the Pisans of his protection. The Pisans’ goods will be safeguarded in shipwrecks and the possessions of those who die in the principality will be returned to their relations intact. The Pisans may settle disputes among themselves in their own court, but if any dispute arises with one of the prince’s subjects the case will be dealt with in his court. The charter, fortified with the prince’s seal, was drawn up by Gaufridus cancellarius principis.

An agreement made with Guibertus Papasius, with the consent of his wife Usanna, in which he exchanges the vineyard next to the cemetery and church of Mons Gaudii, inherited by Usanna, for a part [pars] at the far end [extrema pars] of the great vineyard that is next to the upper road [via superior] and adjoins another vineyard belonging to Guibertus on which he owes decima et terraticum. Tithes will be owed on Guibertus’s acquisition. [2].

(3). An agreement with Ainardus Cavallom, who exchanges part of a vineyard, next to that which had belonged to Gauterius Carpentarius for another part of a vineyard in the great vineyard, this also being next to that of Gauterius Carpentarius. Tithes will be paid. Ainardus, impelled by poverty and having nothing with which to feed and bring up his wife and children, has sold this part to Martinus Carpentarius of Mons Gaudii for 26 besants with the consent of his lord and the court [curia]. (4). An agreement with the daughters of Pontius Faverius and their husbands. They exchange 30 jugera of cultivated land in the territory of Kalandria, owing decima et terraticum, for 2 petiae of a vineyard in valle Sancte Marie, one of 4 jugera, the other of 2 jugera, which had belonged to frater Petrus de Rametis, for which they will give tertia et decima. (5). The prior gives Stephanus Pastinace the vineyard that had belonged to frater Arnaldus on condition that he cultivates the wasteland and pays medietas et decima annually. (6) An agreement made with Helyas and Amicus, his relation [gener], in which they exchange part of their garden which is next to the berquilium, for a pars of uncultivated land that had come to the canons in their agreement with Robertus de Retest and adjoins land belonging to Helyas.

This was confirmed at Mahumeria by domnus A. prior, assisted by the burgenses of the village [villa] in plenarie curie, to whom Robertus handed a staff [baculum], giving everything to the Holy Sepulchre. Robertus enumerated his possessions, specifying land next to that of Robertus Ungarus, which had been given by Prior Giraldus to him and his wife, previously married to Umbertus, but which he had abandoned because he had not been able to cultivate it; some adjoining land given by Prior Petrus, who later became archbishop of Tyre, to Robertus in an exchange for land he had bought from Galterius Bela; and land nearby which Prior P. had given and on which was owed terraticum et decimam. (9). Prior Arnaldus and domnus Robertus de Retest came to Mahumeria and agreed on the boundaries of their respective territories. They chose an elderly Sarracenus called Pes Tortus, a homo rusticus of Robertus, to provide evidence of the boundary. This survey took place in the presence of the following canons of the Holy Sepulchre: domnus Petrus elemosinarius; domnus Bernardus Antiochenus; frater Pisanus; Petrus Judaeus; Johannes interpres; Arbertus; Stephanus.
