Bertrand hands this gift over to Guillelmus Embriacus, Obertus Ususmaris, Ingo Pedegola and Ansaldus Caput de Burgo. Bertrand concedes that no Genoese or man from Savona, Noli, Albenga resident along the coast from Nice to Portovenere, nor any Lombard in their company, will pay tributus when they transport pilgrims. If any of these men suffer at the hands of his subjects, Bertrand will render justice within 15 days.Jun. 26. Before Tripoli.

comments: [20] Mayer (loc. cit.) has led the way in questioning the authenticity of this inscription. Its leading supporter has been Kedar (loc. cit.), who has had the better of the argument in my opinion, although the reported wording of the inscription looks doubtful. See Pringle, The Churches 3:65-6.
