Patriarch Eraclius of Jerusalem confirms an agreement, made in his presence and at the orders of Pope Lucius III, between the abbey of St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat and the Knights Templar. He records how his predecessors Patriarchs Arnulf and Warmund gave St Mary under the abbates Hugo and Gelduinus the tithes of 2 royal casalia called Meseraz and Dalphym. Over time these casalia were transferred from the royal domain [dominium regis] into the lordship [dominium] of the Knights Templar, who refused to pay the tithes. The Templars now agree to pay half tithes on wheat, wine, barley, oil, vegetables and also money [byzancii], except the fodder for animals used by themselves, and on gardens and churches, if it should happen that these are established with parochial rights.
