Quod si possiiit sudicere illas grangias ot terras iii aljliaLiani iiomiiu! Vallis 

 Dei liliaiu Gcripontis, cum rebus acdiliciis ibidem iuucuLis redigaiiL, cum ilji 

 corpora multorum et magnorum principum et nudtorum aliorum siiit sepidta, 

 et abbas Geriponfcis ibidem conuentum mittere non retardet, eL sit filia ipsius, 

 prout definitum est quod tales abbatiae ad matres proprias revcrtantur. Si

 dictae terrae ad dictam abbatiam Vallis Dei quondam pertinentes ad domum 

 Geripontis tanquam ad matrcm propriam cum aedificiis absque coutradictione

" Si abbas Sancti Saluatoris uel quiuunique alius contrauenerit, uel si oppo-

 St. Saviour." 



As we shall see, the matter was ended for the time in 1278 (no. 73,

 the lauds of Killenny did not come until eighty years later.
