text: Dec. 25 1174 - Dec. 24 1175. With the agreement of her son Petrus, Gila makes an eleemosynary gift, masking the sale for 850 besants to the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem of her house with a cistern in vico David [in Jerusalem], which is bordered on the east by the house of Stephanus Umbertus, on the west by the house of Robertus de Baugencio, and on the south by the public way, the vicus David. The Hospitallers receive Gila and Petrus into confraternity. They pay Gila 450 besants and in place of remaining 400 besants they give either the house of Petrus Tornator, which once belonged to Karsia Bocharia and is bordered by the house of Albertus patriarche pincerna, the public way which is the vicus Templi and the royal slaughterhouse [regis excorticatio], or half of the taberna the Hospitallers own in vico David. Should Gila and Petrus die without heirs, all their property will pass to the Order and they will be buried with the rites of a brother and sister of the Hospital. Should Petrus have heirs, he and his part of the inheritance will nevertheless belong to the Hospital. Should Gila and Petrus fall into poverty in their lifetimes, they will be provided with the 400 besants in cash, in exchange for the taberna. Witnesses: Johannes Bricius; W. Beraudi; Johannes Dators; Pizellus li Rei; Simon Judex; Jofridus Bocherius; Petrus de S.

Others cannot be anointed without the bishop’s licence, except for pilgrims, whether healthy or sick, who are living in the same house. (3). Parishioners of Acre can be buried in the Hospitaller cemetery with the bishop’s permission, saving the parochial rights of the mother church. (4).

(5). The bishop will not prohibit the teaching of boys in the house of the Hospital. (6). Mothers seeking Purification should go to the parish church where their children were baptised. They cannot go for Purification to the church of the Hospital without episcopal permission. (7). Parishioners of Acre who wish to make their confession to a Hospitaller chaplain during Lent, in order to to fulfil their Easter duty, should not be turned away but should be warned that parochial law requires that they make confession at that time in their parish church. (8). If processions from the cathedral of the Holy Cross and the Hospital of St John meet at the burial of anyone who has died, the procession following can make use of the candles already in the candlesticks. (9). A testament dictated to a chaplain of the Holy Cross by an infirm person who afterwards wants to be taken into the Hospital and dies within seven days, will be valid; but any change made over the seven days is to be observed. (10). In their sermons the bishop and the clergy of Acre will ask the people to pray for and make benefactions to the Hospital.
