text: Aug. 23. Perugia. Pope Gregory IX rebukes the magistri and brothers of the Knights Templar and Hospital of St John of Jerusalem over the way a dispute between them about certain mills has degenerated into violence, in spite of the efforts of the papal legate, the archbishop of Ravenna, to resolve it. Reminding them of their obligations, he orders them to send suitable procurators to the Holy See by the next passage in March to receive the papal judgement. He has ordered the abbas of the Templum Domini and the abbas of St Samuel to enforce this with excommunication. He also writes in the same terms to the abbas of the Templum Domini and the abbas of St Samuel in Acre.

text: Oct. 9. Anagni. Odo de Monbeliardo regni Ierosolimitani comestabulus had appealed to the Holy See. The bishop of Paphos had demanded tithes of the poll tax [capitatio] levied on the casale of Tarsis in his diocese. Odo refused on the grounds that the late electi of Nicosia and Paphos, at that time papal legates, had decreed, with the agreement of King Aimery of Cyprus, that such a tithe should not be paid in Cyprus, which would follow the practice of the patriarchate of Jerusalem in this respect. This decision was confirmed by the Apostolic See. The bishop of Paphos had threatened Odo with excommunication. Pope Gregory IX orders the bishop of Tripoli to investigate the case and make a judgement.
