He gives a garden, called the iardinum comitisse, a vineyard and 1 carrucate [ad aratrum unum] of land, part of the terra coci, before the city of Sidon. The garden is bordered on the east by a road leading to Gasia and on the west by a straight road which runs between the gardens and the land of dominus Raulus Januensis. On the south it touches a great field, which is a sugar plantation [magnus campus ubi fit canimel]. On the north it borders the road and the olive trees of dominus Guillelmus de Lye. The vineyard borders on the east the public road [commune strata et publica] and on the west a straight road that goes between the gardens as far as the river that flows by Sidon. On the south are olive trees of the Knights Templar and on the north the olive trees of dominus Brixus. The land has on the east the road which runs from Sidon directly to Sarepta and on the west the coastal road [via maritima]. On the north there is a field which adjoins the garden of dominus Egidius. There is no clear boundary on the south, other than the land’s limits. Balianus also gives a great mahumeria, situated between 2 of the gates of the city of Sidon, from which the road goes to Tyre. Witnesses: dominus Daniel de Terremunde; dominus Hugo de Mazelria; dominus Baldovinus marescalcus; dominus Ioffridus de Scimle; dominus Ioffridus de Vilier; dominus Michael Egidius; and others.
