In the name of the holy and individual Trinity.  Let it be held certain by all that I Robert, by the grace of God count of Flanders, and my wife Clementia, [we] have given a certain land, Petresholt with all the tithe owing to me by right, for the salvation of ourselves and ours, to St. Mary in Bourbourg in perpetuity, with the following subscribed witnesses:  Bernard and Bertin, chaplains; Vroolf, castellan of Bergis; Thibaut of Aria; Reinger, seneschal; Odulf; Rodulf, his son; Goddin; Baldwin, chamberlain; Alan of Insula; Reingot of Molembeke.  That it might remain firm, I have enforced it with my seal.  Enacted at Aria, in the 1109th year of the Lord, 7th kalends of July.
