text: Sept. 4. Bohemond, dei gratia princeps Anthiochie et comes Tripolis, makes a sealed grant to the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans. He gives a pecia terre, which belongs to him and is situated within the town [burgus] of Tripoli next to the main wall [prope magistrum murum] of the burgus, but he reserves houses built on the land held by him and his homines. The land is bounded on the east by the staircase [gradus] of the great tower of the main wall. It stretches as far as the land of the bishop of Tripoli and from there to the wall of the Temple, which is to the west and adjoins the main wall of the burgus. It ought to be distinguished from Bohemond’s land and the land of Berengerus de Sura, near the boundary of the land of the Temple. Bohemond also gives the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans 3 towers on the stretch of wall between the staircase already mentioned and the land of the commandery [domus] of the Temple, on condition that nothing is built other than houses for its mansio, that if the wall of the burgus is damaged in consequence of its building work, it is bound to repair it, and that the prince and his homines can enter and leave by the posterns in the wall. Witnesses: Guido dominus Biblii; Plivanus dominus Botroni; Girardus de Ham conestabulus Tripolis; Raimundus de Biblio; Wuillelmus de Biblio; Raimundus de Scandaleone.
