Opus ecclesiasticae et profanae historiae nec non geographiae studiosis apprime utile,(in Latin) Pars II, Vol. III (Florence: typis Bernardi Paperini 1737), pp. 1733-1734. Orlandi points out that Ughelli was manipulating the data, "Ex voce Pyxantis Ughellus alteram Pituntiae formavit: nec dubium quin Buxentum indicare voluerit, quamquam non omnino certum sit, an Polycastrum eo loci situm sit, ubi vetus Buxentum fuit."

On 23 October 1254, Pope Innocent IV wrote from Capua to Magister Johannes de Castellomata, elect of Policastro, that he had ordered Cardinal Guglielmo Fieschi, his legate, to investigate the process of choosing Johannes as bishop (postulatio), and if it was canonical, to install him as bishop.

Bishop Paganus was in exile in 1290, presumably because of the wars between the Angevins and the Aragonese. His two brothers had been taken prisoner, and one had died in prison. He was destitute, and appealed to Pope Nicholas IV for assistance. The pope wrote to his legate, the bishop of Palestrina, Ber(n)ardus Calliensis, on 13 June 1290, to find Paganus some church or benefice sufficient to supply the bishop and his family with sustinence until he could return to Policastro. Ernest Langlois, Les Registres de Nicolas IV (1288-1292) Tome I (Paris: Fontemoing 1905), p. 456, no. 2734. On 8 August 1310, Bishop Paganus of Policastro is found at Barletta, where he is acting as Procurator and Recollector of Cardinal Landolfo Brancaccio, the papal legate.
