Translation into English

Of gold coins of three half (units).
We have agreed that we have received from you the full amount, which we have counted by hand, regarding which we have agreed to be paid in full, from now on you shall have control over it and over all those who are associated with it, and you shall have the authority to manage, to administer it as you see fit, without hindrance, which we also promise to provide you with certainty and to be free from all debts and claims, and all that may come to you or be created for you for this reason or part of it, we are obliged to provide you with solidarity from those who are our successors and heirs and co-owners.
And to refrain from and to seek immediate redress at our own expense and costs as if by law.
If we should repent for the transaction or if we ourselves should repent for the purchase, we are obliged to provide the one who remains with the penalty of one gold unit. The transaction is valid, simply written, and upon being questioned we have agreed and we have released.
John, the subdeacon, son of Dionysius, having been deemed worthy, wrote on behalf of those present, being witnesses.
By my hand, of Foebammon, the notary, it was completed.

"...three and a half and a quarter gold coins, which we have received from you, the purchaser, in full number by hand, concerning which full payment we, having been questioned by you, acknowledged to have received, so that from now on you may possess it and everything belonging to it and the chosen portion, and rule it with your children and descendants and those who will receive it from you, and have authority to use, manage, and administer it in whatever manner you choose, freely and without hindrance. We will necessarily guarantee this to you forever, with every assurance, free from all debt and every encumbrance, and we will necessarily remove and defend at our own expense and cost, as if by legal judgment, anyone who comes forward or makes a claim against you concerning this or any part of it. If we should change our minds regarding the sale, or if you yourself should change your mind regarding the purchase, the party who withdraws must pay to the party who remains committed a penalty of one ounce of gold. The sale is valid, simply written, and having been questioned, we acknowledged and released it."
