text: Dec. 25 1177 - Dec. 24 1178. Following mediation by dominus Letardus Nazarenus archiepiscopus and dominus Joscius Acconensis episcopus, dominus Geraldus Tiberiadensis episcopus and his chapter and dominus Johannes abbas vallis Josaphat and his chapter reach agreement in a dispute between the church of Tiberias and St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat over the church of St George in the diocese of Tiberias and over tithes owed on the lands held in the diocese. The monks of St Mary will never receive for purification those who are interdicted or excommunicated by the bishop of Tiberias or parishioners in the diocese. They will bury no one except their brothers, their servants [servientes] and Suriani, nor will they ever baptize or marry Latin Christians, although they can conduct marriages for the Suriani. They may celebrate services with doors closed [in times of interdict]. Married men and women may profess into the religious life with the permission of their spouses. The monks can receive gifts left by anyone to them in their wills; Unmarried men or women [aliquis inuxoratus vel inuxerata] can make gifts to St Mary, saving the rights of the church of Tiberias. The church of St George will present the church of Tiberias 2 rotae of wax [cerei], each weighing 2 rotae every year on the Feast of St George. The church of St George will also render to the church of Tiberias each year 10 besants of good weight in place of tithes.
