Wikipedia's article on the Church of Greece, read directly for this pass, which states that King Otto's Bavarian regency ratified a royal decree declaring the church's independence on 25 July 1833, that the Ecumenical Patriarchate did not accept this for seventeen years, and that its Tomos of 29 June 1850 formally recognized the autocephaly, naming the Archbishop of Athens permanent head of its Holy Synod.

Assessment
Reliability Tier3
A community-edited tertiary reference, not peer-reviewed, but the 1833 declaration and 1850 Tomos are settled nineteenth-century ecclesiastical-diplomatic history with no live dispute over the dates themselves, and the article names its own primary instrument (the Tomos of 29 June 1850) rather than only asserting the year. NotesCited for the 25 July 1833 declaration of autocephaly and the 29 June 1850 Patriarchal Tomos recognizing it.
