text: Feb. 3 – Dec. 24. Patriarch William of Jerusalem and Petrus gloriosi Sepulcri prior, together with all its canons, record an agreement with the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, approved by King Fulk and his principes, relating to the land of Emaus given to the Hospital by Robertus de casale S. Egidii. The canons of the Holy Sepulchre will have half the tithes of all harvest, whether of wheat and barley, beans and chickpeas, lentils and peas, and other vegetable crops, or vines and olive trees. The Hospitallers will have the rest of the tithes, in order to manage their chapels and churches, in which they will have full parochial rights. With respect to the casalia they hold in the adjacent hills - casale Huldre; casale de Porcel; casale de Gaufrido Agule; casale de Ansquetino; casale de Bacheler; casale de Gerardo Bocher – or others they may acquire, they will pay the canons half tithes. If the harvest in a casale, whether cultivated by Christians or Muslims [Sarraceni], is commuted for money, the canons will still get half tithes. On the Hospital’s side, the agreement is made by Raimundus magister, and the following brothers: Stephanus de Antiochia; Petrus Willelmus; Raimundus de Palatio; Stephanus Lauret; Arnoldus Vasconi; Stefanus diaconus; Stefanus de Capella; Petrus thesaurarius; Raimundus thesaurarius; Giraldus pincerna; Bernardus Vasconi.
