275:1
Gregorius universis habitatoribus Arimini. Si culpam vestram, filii dilectissimi, intentius vemis attendere, assidua vos apud Deum debetis oratione purgare, quod episcopum vestrum non devota mente nec ut filii suscepistis: quem inquietudo et tribulatio a vobis illata ad hoc usque perduxit, al molestiam corporalem incurrerit, quamvis in eo nibil de his quæ nobis sunt scripta cognoviinus, sed solum inesse debilitatem vidimus, pro qua eum bic retinere curavimus.
Gregory to all the inhabitants of Ariminum. If, most beloved sons, you would more intently attend to your fault, you ought by assiduous prayer before God to purge yourselves, in that you received your bishop not with devout mind nor as sons: whom the disquiet and tribulation brought upon him by you led to this point, that he fell into bodily affliction — although in him we have learned nothing of those things which have been written to us, but have seen only that there is weakness in him, on account of which we have taken care to retain him here.
額我略致里米尼的全體居民。至親愛的兒女們，你們若肯更專注地省察自己的過錯，就當藉在天主面前殷勤的祈禱潔淨自己，因為你們接待自己的主教，既不是以虔敬的心，也不是像兒女一般；你們加給他的煩擾與患難，竟使他落到這地步，以致身罹病苦——雖然在他身上，我們並未查知有人向我們所書寫的那些事，只看出他有軟弱，正為此我們才留意將他留在此處。
275:2
Et quia illuc modo ad praesens non valet remeare, Ecclesiae vestrae necessario a providimUs Leontium fratrem et coepiscopum nostrum vilitatorem per omnia deputare, cui etiam nostris scriptis injinximus ut omnia quae ad curam utilitatemque Ecclesiæ pertinent, tanquam proprius episcopus debeat ordinare. Vos ergo ita ei in omnibus obedite, quatenus operam sibi visitationis injunctam b, vestra jutus salubriter in omnibus devotione, possitcomplere. (Cf. Joan. Diac. I. IV, c. 52.)
And since he is now for the present unable to return thither, we have of necessity provided for your Church that Leontius, our brother and fellow-bishop, be appointed visitor in all things, to whom also we have enjoined by our writings that he ought to order all things which pertain to the care and interest of the Church, as its proper bishop. Do you therefore so obey him in all things, that, aided by your devotion, he may be able wholesomely in all things to fulfil the task of visitation enjoined upon him. (Compare John the Deacon, book 4, chapter 52.)
既然他如今暫時無法回到那裡，我們便為你們的教會作了必要的安排：委派我們的弟兄兼同任主教雷翁提在一切事上作探視者，並藉我們的書信囑咐他，他理當以本地主教的身分，料理凡屬教會之照管與利益的一切事。因此，你們要在一切事上如此順服他，好使他得你們虔敬之助，得以在一切事上有益地成全所託付給他的探視職務。（參閱執事若望，第四卷第五十二章。）
