[The information provided by Italikos is generally regarded as a symbolic representation of a Byzantine view of what occurred. It is most unlikely, for example, that Fulk was anywhere near Antioch at the time, so his removal of his crown in favour of Ioannes did not occur outside a possible symbolic dimension. However other details of the agreement as preserved - that Raymond of Antioch, Joscelin of Edessa and perhaps the newly-promoted Raymond of Tripoli were to fight with Ioannes to gain a new principality for Raymond, so that he could hand Antioch to the Byzantines, seem to accord with the campaign that followed. The new fief should include Aleppo, Shayzar, Hama and Homs. There are other points, like that of demonstrating vassal status by entertaining a hypothetical lord, which do not claim any reality beyond the sphere of competing status. There was probably a clause guaranteeing Ioannes access to Antioch in some way, to justify Ioannes' apparent demand in 1138 to control the citadel]
