March 14. Naples. Pope Alexander IV writes to Bishop Bartholomeus of Limassol (Nimotiensis), relating that in the pope's presence the bishop asked the pope to provide for him, since he was burdened by expenses stemming from his journey to and long stay at the Apostolic See in order to carry out the business of his church. The pope grants that he can take out a loan of up to 100 livres tournois and to make his church and its goods liable, such that the bishop's church shall repay the money borrowed and his creditors will not have the burden of proving that the loan was converted to the church's utility on the pretext of any canon or civil statute.
