(Dayr Al Lâtîn) until the Khânqa Al Salâhiyya and Aqabat Khân Al Qubt until the new market and from the home of the respectable (?) (makramtillu) Shahada Effendi in Bab Hitta [illegible] and the Tabuna stairway from the beginning of the market until the square and Aqabat Al Qasaba until the home of [illegible] Effendi. And in Bab al Dabagha and outside of the [Old] City from the end of the land belonging to the Armenian Monastery (OR: Patriarchate?)
