At the request of Stephen Satarel, the representative of the parish church of Saint George, Zorzi Sagredo, the incumbent podestà of Oprtalj, confirms the ancient boundaries between the tithe pertaining to the treasury of the parish church and that pertaining to the Bishopric of Novigrad, establishing that the tithe on lands situated above the boundary line (from the Carmargnach mill to Solina) belongs to the parish, while the bishop is entitled to the tithe on lands below the said line; the podestà condemns Mochor Turrina, lessee of the episcopal tithe, to restore what he has unlawfully collected and to pay the costs of the judicial process.
