VIII. HONORATIS POSSESSORIBUS ET CURIALIBUS FOROLIVENSIBUS THEODERICUS REX.

[1] Grave videri non debet, quod nostra ordinatione censetur, quia novimus aestimare, quod vos oportet implere. a nobis quippe potestis rationabiliter custodiri, quibus profecistis non gravati. proinde devotioni vestrae praesenti auctoritate decernimus, ut accepto pretio competenti de locis vestris ad Alfuanum trabes sine aliqua dilatione devehatis, quatenus et nostra ordinatio sortiri possit effectum et perceptis mercedibus nec vos videamini sustinere dispendium.
