Mar. 1-31. [141] Patriarch Aimery of Antioch records under seal the ending of a long dispute between Geraldus Appam[iensis] archiepiscopus and the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem over their respective rights in the casalia of Tricaria and Homedinum. Geraldus and frater Garinus domus Hospitalis preceptor reached agreement in Patriarch Aimery’s presence. With the agreement of his canons, the archbishop surrendered his rights in Tricaria to Josbertus, Hospitalis Jherusalem magister, and Josbertus, with the agreement of his chapter, handed over Homedinum, which had been given to the Hospital by Rogerius de Saona, in its entirety, together with its deeds, to the church of Apamea. The brother chaplain (frater capellanus) at Tricaria is to be exempt in his ministerium from archbishop’s jurisdiction and his office [vicarius] will be held as is customary with Hospitaller vicaries [vicarii] in the Latin East. Witnesses: Gaufridus abbas Fossanove, tunc temporis in Oriente legatus apostolice sedis; Thomas frater patriarche Antiocheni; Aimericus canonicus sancti Petri; Rainaldus canonicus sancti Petri; Anselmus canonicus; magister Ioannes legis peritus; magister Bartolomeus; Roggerius capellanus patriarche; of the canons of Apamea, Ernaudus decanus; Alexander archidiachonus; Sergius thesaurarius; Ioannes; Theodericus; Petrus capellanus archiepiscopi Apamie; of the Hospital of St John, frater Garinus preceptor Hospitalis; frater Roggerius de Molendinis; frater Ernaudus Lombardus; frater Odoinus; magister Petrus; frater Gibelinus preceptor domus Hospitalis, que est in Antiochia.

Comments:
[141] Hiestand (PTJ 2:232) and Mayer (Varia, pp. 43, 95-7) draw attention to the problem of dating, because of the style used in the principality of Antioch. Mayer suggests the alternatives Mar. 24-31 1174 or Mar. 1 – 31 1175. The first of these is unlikely, because it would place the resolution of the dispute between the archbishop of Apamea and the Hospital of St John in the Octave of Easter. It is possible that a synod had been summoned by the patriarch in that week, but one would expect some reference to it and a more substantial list of witnesses. Otherwise the clergy would be far too busy at the time. In 1175 Easter did not fall until 13 April. The date of Mar. 1-31 1175 is, therefore, preferred.
