May 916, a donation by Deotimio, who fears the oncoming end of the world as do we all, but is also worried about the souls of his parents, their parents' and his son Austen's, for all of which reasons he gives St-Pierre de Beaulieu a steading at Chantoine where he actually lives, in a demesne house with greenfields, demesne meadows and a bacallaria, as well as two more manses and two capmansiones; these are accompanied by a tenanted manse at Maury, two in la Faurie, one and a tenanted cottage at Vernine, three tenanted capmansiones in Esclauselas, two tenanted manses, one tenanted capmansio and a tenanted cottage in le Mont, four tenanted manses in Chantoine-le-Petit, another demesne house where Deotimio also lives (!) in Arche along with four tenanted manses and a capmansio there, and twenty-two slave families of all compositions, couples and kids, kids whose presumably-dead parents are identified though they themselves are not, widows with children and single men; of the children, three are excepted because Deotimio freed them, and only one of these could be among the tenants of the seven capmansiones, sixteen manses and two cottages conveyed in this really quite large donation. Among the witnesses occurs a Gerberga who is either Deotimio's daughter (what would make sense) or that of Deusdet (what the text appears to say).
