Council of Constantinople, Canon 3:

Meta ton teis Romeis espiscopon

Nicephorus:  You Romans have separated yourselves from the Church.”

“It is completely inappropriate that you, who have rejected the Greek empire and united yourselves in union with the Franks, should preserve any rifht of jurisdiction in our empire.”  (regarding Bulgaria)

Epanagoge of Patriarch Photius:

The See of Constantinople, which brings glory to the capital city, is recognized as prmary in the decrees of Councils.  As a consequence of this the Divine Law ordains that other bishops who are in disagreement come for judgment to this See of Constantinople.  Every Patriarch must be concerned with the metropolitans, bishops, monasteries and churches and equally with overseeing and judging conflicts.  However, the Patriarch of Constantinople is allowed even in other Sees where churches are not blessed, to give stravropigia (independent status), and moreover to review and correct those persons involved in controversies in other Sees.”
