initiator: Pope Honorius III
recipient: Patriarch of Jerusalem and the archbishops of Tyre and Caesarea
text: Jan. 3. Lateran. Pope Honorius III writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem and the archbishops of Tyre and Caesarea. 1 Latin metropolitan and 3 suffragan bishops have been established on Cyprus by the legates of the Holy See, but a Greek archbishop and Greek bishops have also been instituted without papal authority and maintain the Greek errors. It would be monstrous and against the constitutions of the general council for a diocese to have several bishops. He orders the patriarch of Jerusalem and the archbishops of Tyre and Caesarea to remove these Greek bishops, enjoining Greek abbots, priests and deacons in the kingdom of Cyprus to obey the Latin bishop established in their diocese, according to the convention made between Queen Alice and the prelates.

text: Jan. 3. Lateran. The archbishop of Nicosia has personally told the pope that although King Aimery of Cyprus endowed the church of Nicosia with the 2 casalia of Fendias and Ornithia, to be held as Oddo camerarius had held them, a prestia was excluded from the gift because of dispute between the king and the church. The archbishop has asked the pope to help with its restoration. Pope Honorius III orders the patriarch of Jerusalem, the archbishop of Caesarea and Iterus canonicus Antiochenus, who lives in Acre, to investigate and decide on the matter.

text: Jan. 3. Lateran. The bishop of Famagusta has informed the pope that during the reign of King Aimery of Cyprus the tithes of 3 districts [regiones], Petalas, Constantia and Crotequi, were granted to his church, as is recorded in the privilege of Pope Celestine III. But the archbishop of Nicosia unjustly receives the tithes of the casalia of Melias and Saforia, and of other places in the districts. Pope Honorius III orders the patriarch of Jerusalem, the bishop of Bethlehem and the archdeacon of Acre to investigate and restore the tithes to the archbishop of Famagusta if that is appropriate.

recipient: Archbishop of Nicosia and the bishops of Paphos and Limassol
text: Jan. 5. Lateran. Pope Honorius III writes to the archbishop of Nicosia and the bishops of Paphos and Limassol. Following the visit of Bishop C. of Famagusta [C. Amochostanus episcopus] to Rome to inform the pope of conditions in Cyprus and obtain confirmation of the convention between the Cypriot church and Queen Alice of Cyprus [Oct. 1-31 1220], the pope reports that he has confirmed the agreement. Alice has asked that those Greeks who are not obedient to the Roman church should be allowed to remain in residence. The pope replies that he wishes to favour Greeks who obey the apostolic see and to allow them to retain their customs and rites, but because it would be monstrous and against the constitutions of the general council for a diocese to have several bishops, he has ordered the patriarch of Jerusalem and the archbishops of Tyre and Caesarea to remove these [Greek] bishops, enjoining Greek abbots, priests and deacons in the kingdom of Cyprus to obey the [Latin] bishop established in their diocese. The queen should assist them. Otherwise over time the kingdom might be lost to the Roman church and even to Latin rule. He adds that he is detaining the bishop of Famagusta on business in Rome until 14 September. The diocese should be cared for in the bishop’s absence.

Pope Honorius III writes that Adam pauper clericus has complained to him that when the pope ordered the archbishop and chapter of Nicosia to find a prebend for him, they persuaded Adam to agree to something prejudicial in the presence of the papal legate, Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, and then infringed the agreement. Honorius orders the patriarch of Antioch, the abbot of St Paul of Antioch and the cantor of Antioch to revoke any attempt to evade a papal mandate and to see that Adam is provided for.
