269:1
Gregorius Theodoro consiliario. Ecclesiasiicis utilitatibus desudantes (Grat. XII, q. 2, c. 67) ecclesiastica dignum est remuneratione gaudere, ut qui se voluntariis obsequiorum necessitatibus sponte subjiciunt, digne nostris provisionibus consolentur 8. Quia igitur te Theodorum virum eloquentissimum consiliarium nostrum mancipiorum cognovimus ministerio destitutum, ideo puerum nomine Acosimum, natione Siculum, juri dominioque tuo b dari tradique praecipimus. Quem quoniam Ira. ditum ex nostra voluntate jam possides, bujus te necesse tuit scripti, pro futuri temporis testimonio ac robore largitatis, auctoritate fulciri, quatenus, Domi. no protegente, secure eum semper et sine ullius re.
Gregory to Theodore the counsellor. It is fitting that those who toil for ecclesiastical interests should rejoice in a worthy ecclesiastical recompense, so that those who of their own accord subject themselves to the voluntary necessities of service may be worthily comforted by our provisions. Since therefore we have learned that you, Theodore, our most eloquent counsellor, are destitute of the service of slaves, we therefore command that a boy by the name of Acosimus, a Sicilian by nation, be given and delivered to your right and dominion. And since, having been delivered by our will, you now possess him, it was necessary that you be supported, as a testimony and safeguard for future time, by the authority of this document of gift, so that, the Lord protecting, you may always securely possess him, and without suspicion of any re-
額我略致參議德奧多祿。凡為教會之利益辛勞的人，理當享有配得的教會報償，好使那些甘願使自己承擔服事之義務的人，得以配格地藉我們的措置得著慰藉。既然我們得知你，即我們極為善辯的參議德奧多祿，缺乏奴僕的服事，我們便命將一名叫阿科西穆、西西里籍的少年，交付並歸入你的權利與所有之下。既然他已按我們的心意交付，如今為你所擁有，那麼為著日後的憑證與這恩賜的保障，你有必要得此文書的權柄支持，好使你在主的護佑下，永遠安穩地擁有他，而不受任何重
269:2
tractationis suspicione, quippe ut dominus, valeas possidere. Neque enim quemquam fore credimus qui tarn panam largitatem pro tua tibi devotione concessam desideret, vei tentet ullo modo revocare, cum uno codemque tempore, et verecundum sit a decessoribul bene gesta resolvere, 1 et verecundum sit docere caeteros in sua quandoque resolutoriam proferre largitate sententiam.
—claim's suspicion, indeed as a master. For we do not believe that there will be anyone who would desire so small a bounty, granted to you for your devotion, or would attempt in any way to revoke it; since it is at one and the same time both shameful to undo the good deeds of one's predecessors, and shameful to teach others one day to pronounce a revoking sentence upon one's own bounty.
—新主張之嫌疑地擁有他，實在如一位主人一般。因為我們不信會有任何人，貪圖這為著你的忠誠而賜給你的如此微小的恩賞，或以任何方式企圖收回它；因為這兩件事乃是同時可恥的：既恥於廢除前人所行的善舉，也恥於教導他人有朝一日對自己的恩賜宣告收回之判決。
