Precaria, quod precibus utendum conceditur, says Cujas, in his
notes upon the first Book of Fiefs. I find in a diploma of King Pepin,
dated the third year of his reign, that this prince was not the first
who established these precaria; he cites one made by the Mayor Ebroin,
and continued after his time. See the diploma of the king, in the
"Historians of France" by the Benedictines, tome v, art. 6.

As appears by the preceding note, and by the "Capitulary of
