Aug. 13. Nablus. Amalric, per gratiam dei in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex quintus, confirms under seal for Paganus de Caypha and his heirs, born of his marriage to the daughter of Iozelinus/Iozellinus/Iocelinus Pesellus whatever his brother King Baldwin III gave to Iozelinus and his heirs. The gift consisted of a [money fief of] 1200 Saracen besants, to be received each year from the cathena of Acre, in return for the servitium of 2 milites, and the first feodum in the kingdom [carrying the service] of 20 milites - or less should Iozellinus or his heirs require it - that would come into the king’s hands, in which case the money fief of 1200 besants would revert to the king. In addition, Baldwin gave Iocelinus and his heirs a feodum [carrying the service] of 100 milites in Egypt [Babylonia] when it was conquered by the Christians. Amalric confirms for Paganus de Caypha and his heirs [a money fief of] 600 besants, to be received annually in 4 instalments from the funda of Acre, which King Baldwin had given to Iocelinus Pesellus in augmentation of his feodum, in return for the servicium of 1 miles. Amalric also confirms the rent of 500 besants, received annually from the macellum of Acre in 4 instalments, which Amalric had given Fulco Tiberiadensis as part of the arrangement underlying the gift by Amalric of the castle [castrum] of Saphet to the Templars [milicia Templi]. This rent of 500 besants was given by Fulco to Paganus in exchange for Giboseuart.
