Barutus has given Rohardus 225 besants and has paid homage [hominium fecisti] for the drugomanagia.

When he visits one of the casalia the villani will provide victuals for him and his horse. When he travels outside the casalia with his lord, the latter will provide only for his horse. If he loses the horse in the service of his lord [in servitio domni] the latter will give him 15 besants. For every 100 modii harvested [de annona] communally by the lord and villani, Barutus will receive 6 modii, or less in proportion to the harvest.

Exceptions are a street [ruga], which stretches from the [city] gate to the port, having on one side the ruga sancti Marci and the royal part of Tyre, 300 besants [of revenue], one of the better mills, 2 casalia and one of the better gardens, which were granted to the bishoprics of Jesolo and Torcello. Conceded to the church of St Mark are the revenues from the port and gates, the plateae, fontici, baths, ovens, weights and measures of wine and oil [de stateris, rubis et de mensuris vini et olei], mills and taxation on glass [dationes de vitro]. This is to compensate the church of St Mark for the 1500 besants it raised to assist the Venetians of the ship [navis] of Romanus Mairanus, who fled to Acre from captivity in Constantinople, and for its gift to Venice of 600 Venetian librae. The church may not alienate the property, which should always remain in Venetian ownership.
