1581

Late 1206 (before Dec. 24). Frater Gaufridus magister Hospitalis records that he had asked Bohemond, princeps Antiochie et comes Tripolis, to confirm the possession by the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem of a land before Befania. The Hospitallers had released the prince from [his obligation to] the heir of Guillelmus Porcelet, when that heir came of age. If in future the heir should challenge this and the court should judge [per judicium curie] that the land should be returned to him, the Hospital would restore it. The boundaries of the land are as follows. On the east it borders land of the Hospital and land that had belonged to Georgius Porcellet. On the south there is the rivus de Gerol .... On the west it borders the Rivus Vetus, which flows when it rains. It adjoins the same river to the north. Stones are placed on each of the four corners of the land. Witnesses: magister Hospitalis; frater G. marescalcus; frater A. capellanus; R. de Scandaliun; Pleven de Botoron; B. de Gibelet; and others.
