text: Jun. 26. Nazareth. Baldwin, per dei gratiam in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex sextus, confirms by sealed charter the concession in the royal curia in Acre made by Rohardus, with the agreement of his wife Delina, of the drugomanagia of the casalia of Cabur, Tyron and Coket to Barutus and his heirs. The drugomanagia had been given to Barutus by Ivetta, the grandmother of Rohardus, and by her son Petrus Filiolus. Barutus has given Rohardus 225 besants and has paid homage [hominium fecisti] for the drugomanagia. He will receive from every villanus in the casalia 1 modius of wheat and 1 modius of barley for every carrucata that is individually worked; and with respect for each carrucata held in common by the lord [domnus] and the villani, 2 manipuli of wheat and 2 manipuli of barley from the harvest [annona]. 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.
