The Knights Templar claim that it was given to them by Count Bohemond of Tripoli. The master and brothers of the hospital of St John claim that it was given to them by Raymond Rupen. Both sides have agreed to abide by the arbitration or pay a penalty of 5000 silver marks.

text: Jun. 10. Tyre. Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, the papal legate, records his judgement in a dispute between the Genoese and Pisans that had led to warfare throughout the city of Acre. He has inspected a previous agreement on the resolution of disputes within 8 days between the 3 communities of Venetians, Genoese and Pisans, according to which when 2 were involved, the third should mediate. He enjoined the balius Venetorum to do so, although the representatives of the Pisans argued that the previous agreement had been dissolved when warfare had broken out between them and the Genoese. When, moreover, Ugo Cancellarius had been appointed consul [of the Genoese] he had not taken an oath to abide by it. Having taken the advice of patriarcha Jerosolimitanus, archiepiscopus Tyrensis, Beetlemiensis episcopus, Valentinus episcopus, abbas Montis Syon, abbas Sancte Marie de valle Josaphat, abbas de Latina and many others, Pelagius ordered the archbishop of Tyre to announce that the balius Venetorum ought to acknowledge his role according to the sworn agreement of the 3 communities. The judgement is written by by Almerius sacri imperii notarius et iudex ordinarius.
