Undated – end of June. [Viterbo.] The Genoese ambassadors at the papal court report to the podestà and the captain of the people that they have received their instructions saying that if the Venetians and Pisans send arms to the East, so will the Genoese. The ambassadors report the proposal that the fortifications of all three communes in Acre shall be entrusted to the Holy See while solution is achieved. There then follows description of arguments concerning the towers in Acre, with the suggestion that, if the Genoese cannot have one, the Venetians and Pisans should forgo theirs.
