text: Jul. 10. Lateran. Pope Honorius III writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem, the bishop of Acre and the cantor Acconensis in relation to the case of magister Willelmus clericus. He had ordered them to investigate whether it was reasonable to instal Willelmus as a canon of the church of Limassol on the basis of the grant to him of an asisie, which is worth a little less than a prebend, arguing that there would little to lose and a benefit to be gained. The patriarch, bishop and cantor had found no reason to oppose the instalment, but had suggested that it be postponed. Believing that the wider church will benefit, Honorius orders them to compel the bishop and chapter of Limassol to instal Willelmus in the choir and in chapter.

text: Jul. 13. Lateran. Pope Honorius III reports to his legate, Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, that the bishop of Famagusta has informed him of excessive behaviour by the archbishop of Nicosia, who has demanded the presence of his suffragan bishops whenever he visits their churches, when they are only bound to be present on the first occasion. The archbishop allows leave of absence for 2 or 3 years to all who have asisia in churches, without the bishops’ permission, and to enjoy their benefices in absentia, on the basis of a successful appeal made to the pope by Rogerius who had an asisia at Famagusta. He claims the right, on the basis of precedents, to create on his consecration a new canonry in every cathedral without consulting the bishops, although no such precedent has ever been experienced at Famagusta. He has forced the bishop of Famagusta, who had obeyed the papal judge delegates in the case of magister D decanus Nycosiensis against the archbishop’s wishes, into exile, after the bishop had been suspended by the bishop of Paphos and the archdeacon of Famagusta, on the unjust accusation that he had failed to meet the archbishop. He has denied the bishop his jurisdictional power of excommunication, because he had excommunicated certain canons of Famagusta. He has entrusted the administration of the diocese to the archdeacon of Famagusta and to Willelmus canonicus Famagustanus. The pope orders Cardinal Pelagius to reinstate the bishop.
