authority for ---- solidi of gold; and, nevertheless, let the present charter remain inviolate with all that it contains, with the witnesses placed below. Done in ----, publicly, those who are noted below being present, or the remaining innumerable multitude of people. [Sidenote: The property again described] [Sidenote: Returned to the original owner to be used by him] (b) In the name of God, I, Abbot ----, with our commissioned brethren. Since it is not unknown how you, ----, by the suggestion of divine exhortation, did grant to ---- [monastery named], to the church which is known to be constructed in honor of Saint ----, where we by God's authority exercise our pastoral care, all your possessions which you seemed to have in the district named, in the vill [village] named, which your father on his death bequeathed to you there, or which by your own labor you were able to gain there, or which, as against your brother or against ----, a co-heir, a just division gave you, with courtyard and buildings, gardens and orchards, with various slaves, ---- by name, houses, lands, meadows, woods (cultivated and uncultivated), or with all the dependencies and appurtenances belonging to it, which it would be extremely long to enumerate, in all their completeness; but afterwards, at your request, it has seemed proper to us to cede to you the same possessions to be held for usufruct; and you will not neglect to pay at annual periods the due _census_ [i.e., the rental] hence, that is ---- [amount named]. And if God should give you a son by your legal wife, he shall have the same possessions for the days of his life only, and shall not presume to neglect the above payment, and similarly your sons which you are seen to have at present, shall do for the days of their lives; after the death of whom, all the possessions above-named shall revert to us and our successors perpetually. Moreover, if no sons shall have been begotten by you, immediately after your death, without any harmful contention, the possessions shall revert to the rulers or guardians of the above-named church, forever. Nor may any one, either ourselves or our successors, be successful in a rash attempt inordinately to destroy these agreements, but just as the time has demanded in the present _precaria_, may that be sure to endure unchanged which we, with the consent of our brothers, have decided to confirm. Done in ----, in the presence of ---- and of others whom it is not worth while to enumerate. [Seal of the same abbot who has ordered this _precaria_ to be made.] (3) THE IMMUNITY
