The boundaries of the land are as follows. On the east it borders land of the Hospital and land that had belonged to Georgius Porcellet. On the south there is the rivus de Gerol .... On the west it borders the Rivus Vetus, which flows when it rains. It adjoins the same river to the north. Stones are placed on each of the four corners of the land.
