(Therefore) let no one dare any more to remove anything from the revenues, property or books of the aforesaid monastery [of Saints John and Stephen in the city of Classe], or from any place it owns, in any way at all, or by any kind of inquiry, nor cause any incursions or trickeries.
But is some dispute should perhaps arise between the church of Ravenna and the aforesaid monastery, and it cannot be settled amicably, let it be brought to an end in the presence of God-fearing men, chosen from both parties, without any wilful delay, with the holy gospels as mediators.
