Dec. 25 1161 - Dec. 24 1162. Petrus Tyrensis archiepiscopus confirms an agreement made by him, when he was prior of the Holy Sepulchre, and G. abbas of St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat. This ended a dispute over lands at Castrum Feniculi. On a date that had been agreed G. abbas with some of his monks and Petrus with some of his canons met on the site under the mediation of B. Cesariensis archiepiscopus, together with good and faithful men of Caesarea who knew the boundary divisions there. Men chosen from either side walked the bounds from the palm tree to the carob tree, from the carob tree to the sugar cane plantation, from the sugar cane plantation in a direct line to the river [a palmo usque ad carrobletum, a carrobleto usque ad cannetum, a canneto usque ad flumariam recta linea]. Petrus then conceded to St Mary the land, shaped like a tongue, beyond the sugar cane plantation [terram quę a canneto in ultra, quę quasi lingua est], so that the boundary line should be established from the sugar cane plantation across to the river [a canneto per transversum ad flumariam]. Witnesses: B. Cesariensis archiepiscopus; and of the boni viri, Manasses; Gervasius; Aeris de Area; Emelinus miles; Arnaldus Curta Capa; Georgius Herminius; Rainaldus Belgrant and many others.
