Dec. 25 1174 - Dec. 24 1175. With the agreement of her son Petrus, Gila makes an eleemosynary gift, masking the sale for 850 besants to the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem of her house with a cistern in vico David [in Jerusalem], which is bordered on the east by the house of Stephanus Umbertus, on the west by the house of Robertus de Baugencio, and on the south by the public way, the vicus David. The Hospitallers receive Gila and Petrus into confraternity. They pay Gila 450 besants and in place of remaining 400 besants they give either the house of Petrus Tornator, which once belonged to Karsia Bocharia and is bordered by the house of Albertus patriarche pincerna, the public way which is the vicus Templi and the royal slaughterhouse [regis excorticatio], or half of the taberna the Hospitallers own in vico David. Should Gila and Petrus die without heirs, all their property will pass to the Order and they will be buried with the rites of a brother and sister of the Hospital. Should Petrus have heirs, he and his part of the inheritance will nevertheless belong to the Hospital. Should Gila and Petrus fall into poverty in their lifetimes, they will be provided with the 400 besants in cash, in exchange for the taberna. Witnesses: Johannes Bricius; W. Beraudi; Johannes Dators; Pizellus li Rei; Simon Judex; Jofridus Bocherius; Petrus de S. Lazaro; frater Stephanus tesaurarius, who negotiated this agreement; Frater Garnerius castellanus Gibelini; frater Bernardus de Asinaria; frater Godescalcus; frater Droes; frater Blomus; Josbertus candelarius.
