[1] Having completed this work, Simon was also appointed to prepare, in collaboration with the bishop of Veszprém, both a copy of the original deed of foundation and its Latin variant reflecting the actual situation.
[2] It is plausible that he is identical with that certain Bishop Simon, who was one of the two signatories of the Treaty of Devol on the behalf of Coloman in September 1108, alongside ispán Peres.
[5] Taking into account that the latter was based on a charter issued in the reign of King Béla II of Hungary, it is plausible that Simon was elevated to the rank of archbishop following decades of his bishopric in Pécs.
[4] The exact circumstances surrounding the submission of Bosnia are unknown but the region seems to have accepted Béla's suzerainty without resistance by 1137, which coincided with the episcopal activity of Simon.
His archdiocese, with the task of Catholic spiritual care over the province, was commissioned to integrate the newly acquired territories to the Hungarian church hierarchy.
