You didn't bother to reply and say thanks to the people who helped you. So I suggest you read our terms of use and try to show a little more respect to the people who give some of their time to help you.

Indeed, it would be better if you remain in the same topic for same requests.

As for the papal bulles, titles of decretals are often the first words of them, so that it has no satisfying meaning.

Collatio decima （Tenth Collation）
-> (decima, I mind, not *decimal) : tenth collation.

Cum ex eo
-> Whereas ... of the one <who...>

Ex literis
-> (two words) Of the letters, according to the letters ; or : to the letter
(=litteraly) ; and maybe (I think so) : according to the holy scripture.

Quarta compilatio
-> fourth compilation

Quia in causis
-> because in the causes / in the cases (= lawsuits)...

Quinta compilatio
-> fith compilation

Tertia compilatio
-> third compilation

Tuae fraternitatis
-> Of your brotherhood...
