Petrus Çianus, dux Veneciarum (1205-1229)

In the name of Patriarch Wolfger of Aquileia, Henry of Gemona swears to Marco Barozzi, the envoy of Venetian Doge Pietro Zani, to uphold the treaties concluded between the Patriarchate and Venice, namely to ensure the safety of Venetian merchants throughout the patriarch’s secular dominion, to guarantee the reimbursement to any Venetian robbed within these territories, and to promptly announce to the Venetians if the Empire is planning any hostilities directed against them.

Berthold V of Andechs, patriarch of Aquileia, promises to the envoys of Doge Pietro Ziani and the Commune of Venice the security of Venetians within the boundaries of his temporal dominion; assures the recompense in case a Venetian ends up being robbed within his territories; promises to inform the Venetians in case of hostilities planned against them by the Empire; and he commits himself to amend the agreement, if necessary, in accordance with the Venetian doge.

Berthold V of Andechs, patriarch of Aquileia, and Count Maynard II of Gorizia, his advocate, promise to Doge Pietro Ziani and to the Commune of Venice the safety of Venetians living and operating within the confines of the temporal dominion of the Aquileian Church; promise to reimburse any Venetian if they end up robbed in the Patriarchate; to inform the Venetians if they find out that the Empire is planning any hostilities against them; and define the competences of the vicedominus of Aquileia; Venetians are promised exemptions from customs duties throughout the secular dominion of the Aquileian patriarchs and privileged judicial status.

In the name of Berthold V, the patriarch of Aquileia, John of Portis swears to uphold the peace and the treaties signed between the Aquileian patriarchs and the Commune of Venice.
