text: 1183. [185] In the chapter of St Paul of Antioch. Falco B. 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.
