text: Jun. 29 - Dec. 18. In the county of Tripoli. To prevent the loss of the castles [castra] of Archas and Gibelacar, which have been destroyed by an earthquake, Amalric, dei gratia Ierosolimorum rex Latinorum quintus, Tripolitanum comitatum procurans, records under seal that he has given them to the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem and Gibertus venerabilis magister. The Hospitallers will restore them. Their possession of the castles, together with the servicia and hominium owed by homines in their domains, is guaranteed in the future.

If the count is released from captivity King Amalric will ask him to confirm the gift. If he does not and the county reverts by hereditary right to the king, the grants will be confirmed and renewed.
