Bernardus ecclesie Tripolitane episcopus and the canons of his church reach an agreement with Raymundus pater Iherusalem Xenodochii, through the judgement of Pons episcopus Podiensis, abbas S. Felicis de Gerunda and Petrus de Podii Laurentii. Raymundus had shown the bishop charters of gift made by Count Raymond [of St Gilles], and Arbertus episcopus and Pons episcopus, and confirmed in papal bulls of privilege.

The Hospital is to retain the tithes of the bishopric of Archae as long as it has possession of the church there. Signatories: Bernardus Tripolitanus episcopus; Gartio cantor; Amblardus; Bernardus; Raymundus Hospitalis pater, who signs with the agreement of his brothers; Bertrandus; Arnardus Somarii; Robertus; Durandus Hospitalis; [Pontius] episcopus Podiensis; Berengarius abbas S. Felicis [de Gerunda]; Petrus de Podio Laurentii; Bernardus scriptor. B[ernardus] Tripolitanus episcopus seals the charter.
