Both major and junior returned from their mission as consuls in Ultramare and Alexandria in 1204. See more about the Lercario's relation with the Latin East in the following pages.

GC, 25,43 pp.
Genoese names in the charters of Archbishop Joscius and Conrad of Montferrat include Ansaldo de Nigro, Ansaldo Guaraco, Arloto vicecomes and Rollando Picio. These people belonged to well known families in Genoa. However, there reason to believe that they were not residents of Genoa: their names do not appear in any contemporary sources from Genoa before 1190 or after 1192. How many of these people lived in the Latin East before 1187 and how many of them do not appear in the Genoese sources from the following years because they perished in the wars? Some, like presbyter Turdano and magister Blanco, the representatives of the religious authorities in Tyre who received the concession from 'Archbishop Joscius, were probably inhabitants of the Latin East before, as the document refers to them as simply lanuensibus canonicis and not as canons of a particular church in Genoa sb' It is not impossible that those who had Genoese surnames but appear for the first time in the Genoese text as witnesses to royal acts in Ultramare, were also inhabitants of the kingdom of Jerusalem before 1187. The analysis of the process of reestablishment of the Genoese community in the Latin East thus far showed that in many ways it was a complete new start for the commune. The influx of new blood to the kingdom of Jerusalem was encouraged by the local lords to remain in Tyre and Genoese individuals hastened to take advantage of these opportunities. The powerful leadership of the commune was able to gain privileges that spelled the fast recovery of the commune and advanced the position of the Genoese among other trading communities that were active in the Latin East. The Genoese financial and property reports from the Latin East An additional source of information on the Genoese settlers is found in the property and financial reports from the middle of the thirteenth century. These are interesting documents that offer some ideas about life in the Genoese quarters in Acre and Tyre. There are many ways to analyse these documents, as mentioned above, scholarship often concentrated on the geographical and urban questions with an attempt to reconstruct maps of these urban units. However, the following paragraphs will focus on several aspects concerning the people who lived in these Genoese neighbourhoods. This means that the document written about Acre is of more significance to the current analysis than the one written on Tyre, because it provides a list of house holders in the burgensia and in the ruga comunis Ianuae. In contrast to Acre the report on Tyre only mentions individuals and their property as an indication of the location of communal property. The report on Acre has its shortfalls too. Unlike Prawer's assumption that the Genoese list is inclusive of all the houses owned by members of the commune, it seems that the list is only partial and excludes much of the private property. For example, the property of the church of 567 CDG, vol. 2, pp. 373-374. 166
