text: Oct. 25. Lateran. Pope Innocent III records that Pope Alexander III had given the late Simon prior Sancto Georgii de Xisto the right to use the [episcopal] ring, staff and mitre. St George was later subjected to the church of St Thomas the Martyr in Acre, so that the right was enjoyed by whomsoever was prior. This was confirmed by Innocent himself. The bishop of Acre had questioned this extension of the privilege and the case was heard in the Holy See. Innocent upholds the bishop’s complaint. There must be no extension of the original privilege.
