. August 6. Acre. [Cardinal-]Bishop Odo (Eudes de Châteauroux) of Tusculum (Frascati), papal legate, writes to Archbishop Hugo (Ugo da Fagiano) of Nicosia or his vicars, relating that he has been working for the salvation of souls and trying to remove certain abuses that are prevalent in Outremer and stain the Church's reputation, scandalizing layfolk. He thus sends the addressee the text of the above statutes that he published with the advice and consent of the prelates of Syria. The legate orders the recipient to make these statutes public in the Great Church of Nicosia when the city's clergy is assembled and to have them implemented by the suffragan bishops or their vicars and in other places in the Kingdom of Cyprus as he sees fit.
