Alexander, bishop of Aberdeen, narrates that David king of Scots granted patronage of church of Philorth in Buchan to God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the church of Aberdeen and the dean and canons residing and serving God there. Now, since the church is vacant, some of the revenue is to be diverted to support two chaplains in the cathedral church. The vicar perpetual is to pay an annual sum to the chapter. The chaplains are to be paid at two terms annually; at the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and at the feast of Pasche following.
