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.

A case has been heard in Rome relating to complaints brought by Seguinus prior sancti Michaelis and Aimericus canonicus Tripolitanus, emissaries of the church of Tripoli. Pope Celestine III had written to the patriarch of Jerusalem, ordering the archbishop of Nazareth and the abbas of the Mt of Olives to put the Hospitallers in possession of church of Nephin, its tithes and 3 casalia. Innocent reverses that judgement in favour of the church of Tripoli. He has ordered the archbishop of Tyre and the bishop of Sidon to execute his judgement.

They are followed by others that inform the pope that when the German [crusaders] reached Acre, they recovered the castle at Beirut, which was undefended. The Sarraceni had attacked and taken Jaffa, killing thousands of Christians. The Germans, hearing rumours of the death of the western emperor, reembarked, leaving the Christian settlers in peril from the Sarraceni. On Aug. 15, therefore, Pope Innocent III issues the letter Post miserabile, proclaiming a new crusade.
