After the recapture of Constantinople by the Byzantines in 1261, the town and the bishopric are better known. In 1274, the unnamed Archbishop of Garella agreed to the Union of the Churches. In 1310, the Archbishop (again unnamed) participated in a synod in Constantinople against the selling of offices, and an Archbishop Paul is attested in a couple of synodal acts in July 1315. At the start the Byzantine civil war of 1321–1328, the town was occupied by the forces of Syrgiannes Palaiologos, who shortly after switched sides to support Andronikos III Palaiologos. A synodal act of September 1324 records the dues owed by the archbishopric to the Patriarchate of Constantinople as 24 "hyperpyra".
