text: Sept. 14. Famagusta. Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, the papal legate, makes a further sealed ruling on the agreement of 1-31 October 1220 that resolved discord between Queen Alice of Cyprus, her son Henry, verus dominus et heres regni Cipri, his barones, milites and homines, and E. archiepiscopus Nicosiensis, M. Paphensis episcopus, R. Nimociensis episcopus and C. Famagustensis episcopus and their chapters. More issues have arisen, which Pelagius on a visit to Cyprus, assisted in his mediation by the magistri of the Knights Templar and the Hospitallers of St John, now resolves. The queen, barones, milites and homines of the kingdom of Cyprus will pay the prelates tithes on all their lands, animals and revenues, according to the customs of the kingdom of Jerusalem. The chevalia and dimi owed to the crown by the rustici of the prelates and their churches are remitted. All Greek priests and deacons are freed from the payment of chevagia or labour services [angariae], provided they profess obedience to the prelates in whose dioceses they reside, according to the form followed by Greek priests and levites in the kingdom of Jerusalem since the Latins ruled there. Greek priests and deacons should remain in the casalia and lands in which they reside at present. A Greek villanus can only be ordained with the agreement of his lord and if the prelates permit such an ordination, they must replace the villanus with another. Greek villani who leave the island to be ordained without their lords’ knowledge will be forcibly returned to villeinage should they return. Greek bishops who ordain without licence are to be suspended. Greek priests and deacons can move from one casale to another as long as they have permission and do not have children. Greek abbots should be elected canonically and confirmed by the Latin diocesan. They cannot be removed. They should profess obedience to the local diocesan according to the custom of the kingdom of Jerusalem. Greek churches and abbeys can enjoy their endowments and possessions. The number of monks in Greek monasteries has been limited and no one can replace a dead monk except from the district in which the monastery is situated. There should be 4 Greek bishops, obedient to the Roman church and the Latin prelates according to the customs of the kingdom of Jerusalem. They will reside in Sulam in the diocese of Nicosia, Archinum in the diocese of Paphos, Lefkara in the diocese of Limassol and Carpasium in the diocese of Famagusta.
