text: Mar. 17. Lateran. Pope Innocent III rebukes the patriarch of Antioch for following the example of his predecessor, who had translated the archbishop of Mamistra [Mamistanum] to the archbishopric of Tarsus [Tharsenensis]. The patriarch had translated La[uranetius], the archbishop-elect of Apamea, previously confirmed as bishop of Valenia, to the diocese of Tripoli. Stressing the rights of the papacy in such matters, Innocent quashes the translation, also revokes the translation to Tarsus and suspends the right of the patriarch to confirm the appointment of bishops.

text: Dec. 31. Lateran. Pope Innocent III writes to the bishop of Tripoli. He records how he had quashed the translations that the patriarch of Antioch, following the example of his predecessor, who had moved the archbishop of Tarsus [Tarsensis] to the archbishopric of Mamistra [Mamistanum] and the bishop of Valenia, archbishop elect of Apamea, to the diocese of Tripoli. He stresses the canon law, ecclesiology and theology underpinning the papal prerogative, in spite of the protests of the patriarch of Antioch in the name of his church’s ancient status. Now, recognizing the bishop’s worth, which had been vouched for by C[onradus] Maguntinus archiepiscopus, Innocent confirms him in his possession of the church of Tripoli, dispensing him from his previous offices.

text: Dec. 23. Lateran. Pope Innocent III rebukes the patriarch of Jerusalem for slandering the archbishop of Tyre, who had sailed to Cyprus without the patriarch’s licence. The pope has learnt from letters that the archbishop had sailed to Cyprus to preside at the marriage of King Aimery and the queen of Jerusalem, on the advice of nearly all the Christian army. The patriarch, on the other hand, had condemned the marriage on the grounds of consanguinity, but, then, changing his mind, had crowned the couple king and queen. The pope wishes to be better informed of the circumstances and threatens the patriarch with sanctions.
