Between 25 June 1246, and 12 August 1248. Pope Innocent IV writes to the chapter of Paphos, relating that the former bishop of Paphos [Giovanni Romano] asked via a letter and his nuncio to resign, the pope granted his permission, and with the advice of the cardinals the pope appointed the archdeacon of Bethlehem as bishop of Paphos, without prejudice to the church of Nicosia in the future. The pope orders the chapter to show due obedience and reverence to the new bishop.

Comments:
Note: the bull is undated and extant only in the formulary of Marinus of Eboli, but it appears to concern the resignation of Giovanni Romano, since Marinus worked for Innocent IV.
