text:
May or Jun. Daibert, patriarch of Jerusalem and S. Sepulcri adiutorum servus, sends Brother Arnulfus to appeal for assistance from all Catholic churchmen and laymen in the German region. He reports that many crusaders have returned home after the capture of Jerusalem. Others, who stayed until Easter, have left in Pisan and English ships. Mercenaries, who have to be very well rewarded, are defending Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jaffa, Tiberias, Samaria, the castle of Hebron, Ramla, beati martyris Georgii sacratae, and other fortified places until financial help comes from Germans and Latins.
