English:
John of Montfort, Lord of Tyre (died 1283). Seal inscribed in Latin: S(IGILLUM) JΟΗΑΝ(N)IS ΜΟ(Ν)ΤFORT(I) SE(I)GN(E)UR D:SVR E[T] DO[MIN]U[S] THORON (?) ("Seal of John of Montfort, Seigneur of (Tyre(?)) and Lord of Toron"). Reverse: DOMINI TURI ECCE TURUS ("Lord of Tyre behold Tyrus" (?)). Toron, now Tibnin or Tebnine in southern Lebanon, was a major Crusader castle, built in the Lebanon mountains on the road from Tyre to Damascus. The castle was the centre of the Lordship of Toron, a seigneury within the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Early names of Tyre include AkkadianṢurru, PhoenicianṢūr , and HebrewTzór, which gave the Latin Tyrus. Thus possibly D:SVR signifies "de Sur". His shield and horse's caparison display the arms of de Montfort: Gules, a lion rampant double queued argent. His right arms holds a pole, apparently not a weapon, possibly his heraldic banner of Per pale indented argent and gules
