She gives 4 carrucate terre with houses in casale Geschale, which Turginus had bought for 1000 besants from King Guy and Queen Sibylla, when they were Joppensis et Ascalonensis comes et comitissa. She delivers the charter of that sale to frater Isembardus Hospitalis magnus preceptor and frater Ricardus Hospitalis thesaurarius. She also leaves the Hospital an eleemosynary gift of 100 besants, to be paid on her death by the sale of a rent [censuales] of 50 besants a year payable to her by Thomas Pisanus for houses he holds of her in the vicus Catene at Acre, situated before the house of Johannes Daht. The houses border on the east the public way [via publica] and on the south the house of the daughter of Joannes Daht. On the north they adjoin the house of Tortosa and on west overlook the sea, called Lordamer. Any surplus from the sale of the rent can be distributed in alms for her soul. The Hospitallers will receive the eleemosynary gift of 100 besants even if Aalys should die intestate.

1676
year: 1213
initiator: Patriarch Albert of Jerusalem
recipient: Pope Innocent III
text: Jan. 15. Lateran. The patriarch of Jerusalem had informed Pope Innocent III that he had annulled the action of the chapter of Nicosia. In the election of the archbishop it had nominated 2 names to the king of Cyprus, who had chosen the thesaurarius ecclesiae. This may have been by ancient custom, but it is uncanonical and the pope orders the chapter to elect an archbishop freely. The appointment will be confirmed by the patriarch, the archbishop of Caesarea and the bishop of Acre, whom the pope appoints his representatives in this matter.
