text: Oct. 1-31. Acre. In the presence and with the agreement of Patriarch Gerold of Jerusalem, who, together with the abbas de Iosaphat and frater Haymo, seals the charters, the chapter of the abbey of St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat and the chapter of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans, Radulfus abbas sancte Marie de valle Josaphat and frater Haymo vices gerens fratris Hermanni magistri citra mare domus hospitalis Alamannorum record under seal that Iohannes de Canay/Chanay miles sold to the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans the abbey’s casale called Keissereth/Kassareth and the gastina called Mahus. Iohannes had paid the abbey an annual rent of 30 Saracen besants. Frater Haymo and the common chapter of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans promise to pay St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat an annual rent of 50 Saracen besants, to be delivered at Martinmas, but in exchange for the rent, they give St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat a house, held from them by Rollandus de Tercenal/Terceval, which returns 24 besants in rent, and a gastina with little houses [domunculae] and logiae, which returns a rent of 26 besants. The house is situated in the platea that stretches to the cathena in the lower vicus [of Acre] near the sea. The gastina borders on the east the gastina of dominus Haymo miles Alamannus. On its west is the public way that runs to the auberge [alberga] of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. On the south is a lane [viculus] and on the north the gastina adjoins the curia of dominus archiepiscopus Nazarenus. If for any reason the house and gastina cannot be handed over, the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans will recompense the abbey in an equivalent manner, according to the patriarch of Jerusalem’s arbitration.

Cesariensis ecclesie archiepiscopus; Thomas Cesariensis ecclesie archidiaconus; Guillelmus canonicus; of the monks of St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat, frater Stephanus; frater Iohannes; frater Mel; frater Hugo; frater Petrus.
