Aug 11. Lateran. Pope Clement III commissions A[delardus] Ueronensis Romane ecclesie cardinalis, [Monaldus] Fanensis episcopus and [Bonifacius] abbas Nonantulanus to be judge delegates in a dispute between the archbishop of Tyre and the plebanus of the Venetian church of St Mark in Tyre about that church’s rights in the Venetian third of Tyre. The rights that are claimed include the parochial ones of baptisms, hearing confessions, burials in the Venetian third of the city cemetery of St Michael, with its entrance from the Venetian section of the city, tithes, schools, marriages, the purification of women and the possession of spolia. The case had arisen in the pontificate of Alexander III and had been heard in the Lateran by Cardinals Teodinus and Hugo, but without resolution.
