text: Before Sept. 1. Patriarch Eraclius of Jerusalem confirms an agreement, made in his presence and at the orders of Pope Lucius III, between the abbey of St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat and the Knights Templar. He records how his predecessors Patriarchs Arnulf and Warmund gave St Mary under the abbates Hugo and Gelduinus the tithes of 2 royal casalia called Meseraz and Dalphym. Over time these casalia were transferred from the royal domain [dominium regis] into the lordship [dominium] of the Knights Templar, who refused to pay the tithes. The Templars now agree to pay half tithes on wheat, wine, barley, oil, vegetables and also money [byzancii], except the fodder for animals used by themselves, and on gardens and churches, if it should happen that these are established with parochial rights. The agreement has been sealed by the chapters of St Mary and of the Knights Templar. The agreement was witnessed by the following brothers of the knighthood of the Temple [milicia Templi]: frater Arnaldus de Turre Rubea Templi magister; frater Gyrardus de Radifort Templi senescalcus; frater Girbertus Arayl magnus preceptor; frater Robertus Fraisnel; frater Ursus de Alneto; frater Otho de Chaorzos.

Pauli de Antiochia abbas records the establishment of a fraternal association beween his abbey and that of Mt Tabor, entered into by him and [Johannes] abbas Montis Tabor and some of his brothers. When visiting Mt Tabor the abbot of St Paul will be received as an abbot into the choir and chapter in the absence of the abbot of Mt Tabor and will have the right to absolve brothers from excommunication. The advice of the abbot of St Paul can be offered and his assent will be required, after those of the archbishop of Nazareth and king of Jerusalem, to the election of a new abbot of Mt Tabor. If there is no agreement the electors will make their election in the church of St Paul. When an abbot of Mt Tabor dies his death will be commemorated in St Paul. Monks of Mt Tabor visiting St Paul will be treated as brothers in the church, the abbey, the chapter and the refectory. A monk leaving Mt Tabor after a dispute will be received into St Paul, but he should make confession and be sanctioned there. No one will be received whom has lost the favour of both the abbey and convent of Mt Tabor. The deaths of monks of Mt Tabor will be commemorated in St Paul. If the principality of Antioch should be overrun by the Turci and the prince exiled, the monks of St Paul will be received into Mt Tabor and will be provided for. The abbots and monks of Mt Tabor and St Paul will have the reciprocal rights.
