text: Jan. 19. [193] Patriarch Aimery of Antioch records under seal his arbitration in a dispute between the commandery [domus] in Antioch of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem and the Hospital of St Peter in Antioch. The Hospital had lordship over a mill, situated outside the Porta Ducis between the mill belonging to [the abbey of] St Paul and the patriarch’s slaughterhouse [carcosium]. The Hospital of St Peter held a villein’s holding of 3 millstones [villania trium molarum] in the mill, from which it could take half the profits but was responsible for half the expenses. Over and above this it was bound to provide 4 canons of [the cathedral church of] St Peter with 12 modii of flour and the Hospital of St John with 12 solidi each year on the day after Christmas. The expenses of the mill had been such that the the Hospital of St Peter had failed to make necessary repairs. This led to complaints from frater Roggerius de Larunt preceptor Ospitalis S. Johannis que est Antiochie and other brothers of the Hospital of St John and demands that frater Petrus monachus S. Gildasii [et] magister Ospitalis S. Petri should shoulder the costs, which frater Petrus, coming into the patriarch’s presence, argued it could not meet. Patriarch Aimery finds for the Hospital of St John and, with the advice of his canons Aimericus thesurarius, Leonardus magister scole, Rannulfus, magister Hugo and Helyas, judges that the magister Ospitalis S. Petri should surrender the villania to frater Roggerius preceptor Ospitalis S. Johannis and that the charter granting it should be returned. Frater Roggerius should transfer 300 besants to canon Helyas, who would buy a vineyard for the Hospital of St Peter. Tithes on the mill should always be payable to the church of Antioch.

comments: [193] The charter is dated 1184, but should be redated to 1185, given the usual system of dating in the principality of Antioch.
