He establishes 3 lamps [lampades] to burn perpetually in the church of the Holy Sepulchre: one in the Holy Sepulchre itself, one in the Calvary chapel, and the third before the relic of the True Cross. He provides these lamps with an endowment to cover the purchase of oil, by buying, with the agreement of King Amalric, the houses of Michael Furbitor next to the wall of the church of the Holy Sepulchre for 500 besants. These will return rents [censuales] of 20 besants a year. Patriarch Amalric of Jerusalem, who seals this gift, approves it. He and his convent have promised to buy the oil to keep the lamps alight.
