The document lists the rights and responsibilities ofboth sides, describes the boundary of the territory of the cell (περιοχή) and givesan inventory of the moveable property which was granted along with control of thecell (icons, sacral objects and books, crockery and tools). The document is signedfor the representatives of twenty of the Athos monasteries in the hand of the scribe,as was the usual practice at the time. The second document (ἐσφράγιστον γράμμα,Б) which was issued on 15th July 1747 i.e. at a time when the cell had alreadybelonged to Chilandar for 85 years, also concerns a grant of life-long usage ofthe cell to Father kyr Dionysios and two other monks.
