Pope Gregory IX draws attention to the reference made at the Holy See by the bishop of Acre, in dispute with frater Andreas de Fogia, the procurator of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, to the agreement between J. episcopus Acconensis and the magister and brothers of the Hospital of St John, arbitrated by Cardinal Pelagius of Albano and recognized by both parties. 2 articles in this agreement, regarding exemption from tithes on the casalia commonly called Broet and Coket, and on sugar cane, as opposed to wheat and barley, at the casale of Manuet need further definition. The pope orders the patriarch of Jerusalem, the archbishop of Tyre and the abbas Sancti Samuelis de Monte Gaudii Premonstratensis ordinis Jerosolimitane diocesis to decide on these issues.
