text: Feb. 18 - Dec. 24. [94] Acre. Raymond III comes Tripolitanus records under seal his arbitration in a dispute between on one side Bernardus abbas Montis Thabor and on the other Petrus de Nimenes and his brother of the same name. Agreement was reached in the house of Giraldus de Conilz in Acre. Bernardus, together with the chapter of Mt Tabor sold the lease to whatever the abbey had in the neighbourhood of the city of Tripoli, a casale called Betahmum situated in the territory of Mont Pèlerin and everything else it possessed in the county of Tripoli to Petrus de Nimenes and his brother for 25 years. Petrus de Nimenes and his brother had to make a down payment of 900 besants and provide an annual census of 100 Saracen besants, payable at Easter. After 25 years the casale and the other properties would revert to the abbey, irrespective of any improvements that had been made to them. The brothers could alienate the properties by sale, pledge or gift within the 25 years, provided they were not granted to any religious community or secular knights [milites] and the abbey continued to enjoy the census. The abbey will have preemption rights. If the Muslims [hostes Crucis Christi] should destroy the houses, olive trees or vineyards, the brothers would be absolved paying rent until they could do so.

text: 1183. [185] In the chapter of St Paul of Antioch. Falco B. Pauli de Antiochia abbas records the establishment of a fraternal association beween his abbey and that of Mt Tabor, entered into by him and [Johannes] abbas Montis Tabor and some of his brothers. When visiting Mt Tabor the abbot of St Paul will be received as an abbot into the choir and chapter in the absence of the abbot of Mt Tabor and will have the right to absolve brothers from excommunication. The advice of the abbot of St Paul can be offered and his assent will be required, after those of the archbishop of Nazareth and king of Jerusalem, to the election of a new abbot of Mt Tabor. If there is no agreement the electors will make their election in the church of St Paul. When an abbot of Mt Tabor dies his death will be commemorated in St Paul. Monks of Mt Tabor visiting St Paul will be treated as brothers in the church, the abbey, the chapter and the refectory. A monk leaving Mt Tabor after a dispute will be received into St Paul, but he should make confession and be sanctioned there. No one will be received whom has lost the favour of both the abbey and convent of Mt Tabor. The deaths of monks of Mt Tabor will be commemorated in St Paul. If the principality of Antioch should be overrun by the Turci and the prince exiled, the monks of St Paul will be received into Mt Tabor and will be provided for. The abbots and monks of Mt Tabor and St Paul will have the reciprocal rights.
