text: Apr. 5. Lateran. Pope Innocent III writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem and the archbishop of Caesarea. He describes how the bishop of Paphos came into his presence, bringing the sentence delivered by the [judge delegates], the bishops of Acre, Tiberias and Beirut, in the case between the archbishop of Tyre and the plebanus of the church of St Mark [in Tyre]. The bishops had followed the papal mandate in demanding that the parties appear before them, but the plebanus had refused to accept the papal mandate or appear before them, appealing instead directly to the Holy See. The bishops visited Tyre, heard testimony and excommunicated the plebanus, restoring his church to the parochial jurisdiction of the archbishop. But representatives of the doge of Venice informed the pope that the Venetians had at the time of the conquest been granted one third of Tyre and that the church of St Mark in Tyre had had parochial rights for a long time. They present letters from Popes Clement III and Celestine III in support of their argument. It was pointed out, moreover, that two of the judge delegates were suffragans of Tyre and therefore biased. Innocent quashes the judgement of the bishops and orders the archbishop of Tyre to restore its rights to the church. The patriarch and archbishop should have this decision published in Tyre.

text: May 30. Lateran. Pope Innocent III informs the canons of Tyre that the plebanus [of the Venetian church of St Mark] has complained about them. The church of St Mark in the Venetian third part of Tyre had been granted full parochial rights [in baptismo, penitentia, sepulturis, decimationibus, benedicendia nubentibus, tenendis scolis et mulieribus] by Popes Clement III and Celestine III until the province of Jerusalem would be restored to the Christians. Innocent himself had reversed the sentence, but had ordered the archbishop of Tyre to do nothing until the papal legates arrived. He has heard how since the death of the archbishop the patriarch of Jerusalem and the canons of Tyre have challenged the position of the plebanus. Innocent orders them to desist until the legates, Cardinal Soffred of St Praxedis and Cardinal Peter of St Marcellus, arrive.
