text: . March 30. The Lateran. Pope Innocent IV writes to the patriarch of Antioch (Opizo Fieschi), relating that since he has ordered the patriarch to provide the church of Latakia with a worthy person, so that the person the patriarch chooses is not unbecomingly needy because the Saracens occupy the church, the pope grants the patriarch to power to concede to that person the abbey of St George of Antioch of the Order of St Augustine, which is now said to be vacant through the removal of Barthélemy, former abbot, as long as that person lives, unless the church of Latakia happens to be liberated from the hands of the infidels, in which case the church of St George shall be free and immune, notwithstanding that the pope once ordered the church of St George committed to the master of schools of Antioch. Nevertheless the pope wants the church of St George to remain free when the person appointed resigns or dies.

text: . April 11. The Lateran. Pope Innocent IV writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem (Robert de Nantes) and the archdeacon of Acre, relating that the petition of the noble man Raymond of Jubayl (Gibelet), lord of Bishmizzine, of the diocese of Tripoli, that was read to him claimed that when his uncle the late Thomas [of Ham], constable of Tripoli, died, by tradition and de jure he as the nearest relative had inherited possession of his uncle’s constabulary of Tripoli and its appurtenances, but in the end the noble woman Eschiva, lady of Le Puy of the same diocese, asserted that she was a closer relative to the constable and wickedly managed to despoil R[aymond] of the constabulary and have herself invested with it by [Bohemond VI] prince of Antioch and count of Tripoli. Since Eschiva was not born from a legitimate marriage and thus cannot succeed Thomas as constable de jure, R[aymond] asked the pope to order that this be investigated by discreet men. The pope orders the addressees to investigate, call [witnesses, decide, and enforce their decision].
