Content Description
The duties are probably ecclesiatical duties, obsonium and cathedraticum, partly paid by the 'prior', partly by the parson, and partly by the author of the note ('Ic'). The cathedraticum is paid to the bishop of Liège, so the fragment is probably from a church or monastery in the diocese of Liège.
