Nicosia] In the time of Archbishop-Elect Hugo (Ugo da Fagiano) of Nicosia, the following excommunicates were publicly denounced on papal authority on Palm Sunday in the Great Cemetery of the church of Nicosia: all heretics of both sexes; those who protect, receive, and defend them; those who teach differently from the Holy Roman Church on the sacraments; those who cause to be observed statutes and laws against ecclesiastical freedom; those who write and make such statutes, the rectors and advisors in the places where they are published and observed, and those who judge or write judgments in a public form in accordance with them; those who claim that the Roman Church is not the head of all churches and refuse to obey it as the head; those who deliver arms, iron, wood, or other prohibited goods to the Saracens or who hold the post of shipmaster in their ships or galleys; all Greek priests and deacons who have not given nor want to give obedience to the Roman Church and the church of Nicosia; manifest usurers; sorcerers and sorceresses, diviners and wizards; men and women who perform incantations; those who publicly support gambling in their houses; those who allow prostitutes to stay in their houses or permit them to be there when they know they are prostitutes; pirates or corsairs who rob merchants and other Christians at sea, on rivers, or on land; those who receive, defend, or offer advice, assistance, or favour to them; men and women apostates of our diocese who have abandoned the religious habit and live secular lives without the Church's permission; those who contract or have contracted a clandestine marriage or are present at one; those who do not pay in full or have paid to the church of Nicosia the tithes on all their possessions, animals, rents, and income, who deduct seed, expenses, or requisitions before payment, or who commit fraud in payment. On pain of excommunication, the archbishop orders all Greeks who have received the sacraments of confirmation and marriage in the way of the Roman Church and the church of Nicosia, and their children, to hear at least on Sundays the divine office in the Great Church of the Latins of Nicosia, to confess their sins there at least once a year to a Latin priest, and to receive from that church all the sacraments in the Latin way henceforth, not at all following the Greek way and rites, except in cases of necessity. Otherwise they shall fear not only excommunication but other punishment.

text: . June 27. Gavi. Pope Innocent IV writes to the abbot and monks of St Sabbas of Alexandria [of Egypt], relating that, since the city of Genoa is at the foundation of the faith and is everywhere disturbed by the enemies of the Church, the Apostolic See grants it special favours. Thus, responding to Genoese requests, the pope orders the addressees to sell for a just price, or rent for a fitting annual sum for up to ten years renewable, to the Genoese the house that the abbot and monks possess in Acre in the district called the Chain, notwithstanding any statute or papal indulgence they may have, such that the pope will smile upon them. The pope, however, declares null and void any sale, rent or other alienation of the house to the contrary, on pain of excommunication, to be enforced by Archbishop [Niccolò Lercari] of Tyre via ecclesiastical censure.
