comments: [140] Mayer, (Varia, p. 43) gives the alternatives Febr. 1-28 1174 or 1175. For reasons given in the footnote to no (919) below, I consider 1175 to be the most likely year.

comments: [141] Hiestand (PTJ 2:232) and Mayer (Varia, pp. 43, 95-7) draw attention to the problem of dating, because of the style used in the principality of Antioch. Mayer suggests the alternatives Mar. 24-31 1174 or Mar. 1 – 31 1175. The first of these is unlikely, because it would place the resolution of the dispute between the archbishop of Apamea and the Hospital of St John in the Octave of Easter. It is possible that a synod had been summoned by the patriarch in that week, but one would expect some reference to it and a more substantial list of witnesses. Otherwise the clergy would be far too busy at the time. In 1175 Easter did not fall until 13 April. The date of Mar. 1-31 1175 is, therefore, preferred.

When he visits one of the casalia the villani will provide victuals for him and his horse. When he travels outside the casalia with his lord, the latter will provide only for his horse. If he loses the horse in the service of his lord [in servitio domni] the latter will give him 15 besants.

And he gives the Hospitallers licence to build on the site of that house and the houses of Willelmus Patronus, the abbess of St Lazarus, Petrus Sellarius and Parsanus in the street [vicus] that descends from the Gate of David, when they acquire them. In return the magister and preceptor, with the advice of the chapter of the Hospital of St John, give the patriarch the following rents which they had enjoyed: 36 besants from the house of Odo de Barulo, payable in two equal instalments at Easter and on the Feast of the Holy Cross; 16 besants from the house of Henricus Alemmanus, payable in two equal instalments at Christmas and on the Feast of St John. These houses are next to one another in the street [vicus] in the patriarchal quarter that leads to the Gate of St Stephen. They are bordered to the north by houses which owe rent to the Hospitallers and to the south by a volta, which owes rent to the Hospitallers and is below the house of a Surianus.
