text: Apr. 1-30. Petrus Dominici Sepulcri prior, together with the canons, gives Arnulfus, the son of Bernardus/Bernaldus Syrianus, and his heirs houses built over vaults exchanged with the Hospital [of St John] and situated over the Holy Sepulchre’s oven, which is on the road that leads to Mt Sion, and a statio next to the oven for an annual census of 9 besants, payable at Easter. If the bases of the houses resting on the vaults are damaged, that party, the Holy Sepulchre or Arnulfus, which has been negligent will be responsible for repairs. If Arnulfus extends the houses and wishes to sell, the Holy Sepulchre will have preemption rights, paying 1 silver mark less than the price. Otherwise any purchaser, burgensis vel Syrianus, will be subject to the same rent. The cost of any repairs to the statio will be borne by Arnulfus. The canons give custody of the key to the cistern to Arnulfus, who must provide the procurator of the oven with water if he needs it when making repairs.
