. February 17. The Lateran. Pope Innocent IV writes to the [cardinal-]bishop of Tusculum (Frascati) and papal legate [Eudes de Châteauroux], relating that the legate told him of a dispute that had arisen between the archbishop of Nicosia (Ugo da Fagiano) and his Latin suffragans, on one side, and the Greek bishops of Cyprus, on the other, over many issues that the legate explained in detail, asking the pope for a solution. The pope deliberated with the cardinals and is sending another letter with a response on some of the issues. But since they wish to think more about the other issues, the pope orders the legate to protect the Greek bishops from harm by the Latin archbishop and bishops and anyone else in the meantime.
