text: Ju1. 1-31. Nicosia. Henry, par la grace de Dieu roy de Cipre, makes a sealed grant to Guillaume, son of Acharie, and his legitimate heirs, of 10 charruées of land in the territory of Marathe. The estate is situated between the casale called Auramique to the east, the casale called Marathe to the west, the casale called Sandallari to the north and the casale called Stillos to the south. The grant is made in exchange for the prestrie called le Cavallari, which Guillaume held because it was a gift from King Hugh of Cyprus to Acarie as an enlargement of his fief [fié]. King Henry has given the prestrie of le Cavallari to the archbishop and church of Nicosia, because it was claimed to be a dependency of Mendias. The king promises that if he cannot guarantee the possession by Guillaume of the 10 charruées, he will provide property of equivalent value. Guarantors: Jehan de Ybelim seigneur de Barruth; Jehan d’Ibelin son nepveu; Baliani d’Ibelim; Bauduym d’Ibelim; Hug d’Ibelim; Guillaume visconte; Arneis de Gibelet.
