Its abbot, Stephen wrote a letter to Béla III of Hungary to inform him that one of those clerics, Bethlehem, died of illness, while his companions, Job, Adrian and Michael were present on his deathbed.
Bethlehem's parents, former judge royal Lawrence, who has been in exile in Austria for years, and his wife Christina also received a letter from the abbot, who assured them that their son died without leaving a debt, and Stephen thanked the donation sent earlier for the abbey (golds, chasubles, horses and banners).
When Stephen's letters were first published in 1661, which collection later became part of the Patrologia Latina, historiographer Masson misspelled Job's name to Jacobus (James), but Hungarian archivist György Györffy corrected the mistake, after examining the original codes.
As Bethlehem was of noble origin, Györffy supposed that Job was also a highborn cleric, who were sent by Béla III to France to benefit from higher education.
Béla's first spouse was Agnes of Antioch, who played a decisive role in the spread of French cultural patterns in the Kingdom of Hungary.
Historians Gyula Moravcsik and Tamás Bogyay argued the remains were sent back as a sign of friendly gesture to the Byzantine Empire.
[6] Historian Attila Zsoldos analyzed the document in detail and revealed the contradictions between archontological data, which still exist despite that historiographical efforts which tried to correct the charter's date to 1183 or 1185.
[6] Soon, Job and Adrian were jointly sent to the Kingdom of France as representants of Béla III, in order to find a bride for the king (whose wife Agnes had died in the year 1184).
Later in that year, Job mediated a peace treaty between his monarch and Casimir II of Poland after their war for the sphere of influence over the Principality of Galicia.
There Job had a doctrinal dispute with the Emperor, regarding the use of drowned animals and the relationship of the Son and the Holy Spirit, representing the Latin rite viewpoint.
[13] Alongside his monarch and Mog, Palatine of Hungary, Job took the cross as a token of his desire to organize a crusade to the Holy Land in 1195.
In the same time, Job's relationship with Emeric has deteriorated drastically, most likely because he remained neutral in the power struggle between the king and his younger brother, and stayed away from the secular affairs.
[9] Under the pretext of Bogomilism along the southern boundary, Job requested Pope Innocent to receive a mandate of apostolic legate regarding the territory of the whole kingdom (i.e. also the Archdiocese of Kalocsa), when personally visited the Roman Curia in Palestrina (or Praeneste).
