Will made by João Dias Ribeiro, in which he ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail composed of all the assets he had in Fronteira, over which he imposed a perpetual pious obligation of thirty masses celebrated every year in the mother church of Portalegre, where his body should be buried, on the same grave of his friend António Antunes. He ordered that an encarved vault should be placed over his grave with the words "Grave of padre João Dias Ribeiro and António Antunes, curas on this mother church, which as friends in life, wished to remain so in death". To administrate it, he named, in this order, his siblings padre António Mendes, Maria da Alegria and Violante Mendes, who would be succeeded by António Mendes, nephew of the institutor. From there on the succession should always continue on the eldest heir or the closest relative of Catarina Dias lineage. All administrators would be obliged to annex their own reserved portions to the entail before their deaths, and none could ever marry with a person of the so-called "infected races", that being persons of jewish, new-christian or moorish descendency.
