October 9. Acre. In the palatium of the archbishop of Nazareth. Henry, archbishop of Nazareth, and the chapter of Nazareth in recognition of his service, unanimously grant to Madius de Marino, Genoese, citizen of Acre, and his heirs two free carucates of land and two voltae in their casal of Saphoria just as Radulfus Anglicus once held from the church of Nazareth in burgisiam. Also we give to him and his heirs a certain house in Nazareth with land where there are olives and a piece of land planted with vines. The boundaries of the house are as follows: to the east a certain house belonging to the church of Nazareth; the west the house of Peter de Berito; on the other sides is the public road. The boundaries of the olives are: on the east a certain foresta and land of the said church; on the west is waste ground (locus desertus) belonging to the church: on one side is the land of the late Syr Aseti. The boundaries of the land planted with vines are: on the east the land of Georgius scriba; on the west is the vineyard of Johannis Faber; on one side is the road which leads to the casale of Aylot; the others are known to the land granted by us or our predecessors to certain burgesses from Nazareth or Saphoria and subsequently reverted to us as they were without heirs. The grant is permanent, but permission must be sought before any of the property can be alienated. The property is to be held freely except for the tithe due on the Feast of the Annunciation of one rotulus of grain. Our lead seal is affixed by Petrus Yspanus de Nazareth. Witnesses: Magister Guillelmus, archdeacon of Nazareth; Petrus Yspanus, Ylarius the priest, Andreas Yspanus the priest, Albertus, archbishop’s clerk; Sororius, scriba syrus; and many others.
