Frederick, de gratia Romanorum imperator semper augustus, Ierusalem et Sicilie rex, records that frater Hermannus magister domus sancte Marie Theotonicorum in Ierusalem and his brothers came into his presence and asked that he restore to them the terra Turonis, now held by the Sarraceni, because it had belonged to the comes Iozelinus, whose domain Frederick, with the agreement of his wife the empress Isabella, had conceded to them.

The magister and brothers asked that they should enjoy the terms of the agreement, which specified that Henfridus iuvenis and his heirs would hold Turonum and Castrum Novum in exchange for an annual rent of 7000 Saracen besants and Maron and its dependencies, Quabrinquen, Belide, Cades, Lahare, Mees and the 2 Megarae.
