text: October 26. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the bishop of Lydda and the archdeacon of Nazareth, relating that once, when the church of Tyre was vacant, and Master Filippo canon of Tripoli, the chaplain of the cardinal-priest of Santa Sabina H[ugues de Saint-Cher], had been elected its pastor, and finally the business of his election had been brought to the examination of the Apostolic See, when the dispute over this before the pope had gone on for a long time, the same master, choosing the common good over private utility, and wishing to avoid damage to that church lest the long vacancy cause it serious spiritual and temporal loss, resigned whatever right he had from the election into the hands of the pope and humbly asked that the pope provide the church with a worthy pastor. The pope appointed his chamberlain N[iccolò Lercari], now [archbishop-]elect, then canon of Tripoli, as archbishop and pastor, and, on the advice of the cardinals, provided Master F[ilippo] canon of Tripoli with the chantry, associated prebend, houses and secondary items (intrinseca et extrinseca ac illa que dicuntur minuta) along with all associated rights and appurtenances and other things that the bishop of Bethlehem G[ottifredo] dei Prefetti and the [archbishop-]elect N[iccolò] possessed in the church of Tripoli, having the master invested with these things, such that he shall reside in that church, since he freely renounced all his other ranks (dignitates) and benefices, except for the prebends with canonries that he is known to possess in the churches of Tyre and Sidon. Thus the pope ordered the vicar of the bishop-elect of Tripoli G[regorio] da Montelongo* and the chapter of Tripoli to accept the master or his agent, and he orders the addressees to ensure that the master is given a stall in the choir and a place in the chapter and put in possession of the above.

Petrus, bishop of Valencia (episcopus Valeniensis), confirms by his seal that Theodore of Latakia and his brother George (Theodorus et Georgius frater eius de Laodicia), sons of the late Romanoldus, coming into his presence, recognized that they have placed themselves, their wives, children and movable and immovable property in the protection and keeping of the house of the Hospital at Margat.
