172:1
Gregorius Felici episcopo Messanensi. Et tibi gratum confidimus. si fratris tui viri venerabilis episcopi Paulini peregrinationis onera releventur, ut ejus regimine communi mercede beati Theodori monasterium in civitate tua fundatum stodiosius omnipotenti Deo deserviat. Quod eUam te voluisse facere, jam ejus relatione didicimus. Ideoque recturi patrimonii nostri praecepimus, ut monachos monasterii memorati 529 episcopi perquisitos ad unum congreget, et in eodem monasterio cum iis qui nunc ibi sunt collocare non differat, quatenus co rectore dignius animarum suarum curam exerceant.
Gregory to Felix, bishop of Messina. And we are confident that it will be pleasing to you also, if the burdens of the pilgrimage of your brother, the venerable man bishop Paulinus, be relieved, so that under his governance the monastery of blessed Theodore, founded in your city, may serve Almighty God more zealously by the common reward. That you also wished this to be done, we have already learned from his report. And therefore we have instructed the rector of our patrimony to gather into one the monks of the said bishop's monastery, after they have been sought out, and not to delay to place them in the same monastery with those who are now there, so that under that rector they may exercise the care of their souls more worthily.
貴格利致墨西拿主教費利克斯。我們也確信，你必以此為喜——就是你的弟兄、可敬之人保理努斯主教朝聖之旅的重擔若得減輕，好叫在他的治理下，那座建於你城中、有福的西奧多修道院，能藉共同的賞賜更加熱心地事奉全能的神。你也曾願此事得成，這一點我們已從他的報告得知。因此，我們已囑咐我們家業的管理人，將前述主教修道院的修士尋找出來聚集歸一，並不可遲延把他們與如今在那裡的人一同安置於同一修道院，好叫他們在那位管理者之下更配得地履行看顧己靈的職責。
172:2
Quam rem venerationi tuae innotescendam praevidimus, a ne te omisso aliquid in tua contristeris diœcesi ordinari.
We have foreseen that this matter should be made known to your Reverence, lest, being passed over, you should be grieved that anything is ordained in your diocese.
我們已預先想到，此事應讓你的可敬之情知曉，免得你因被略過，而為在你的教區中有所安排一事憂傷。
