They are to rebuild from the foundations, with three floors and with vaults, the old quarters within the Tower as far as the cellars, and in the other span (wing), the area between the infirmary and the cellars. In exchange for this work they are to receive from the Monastery 450 piastres and 330 measures of wine, plus two cups of wine apiece. They will also receive one ram for every 50 piastres.
