283:1
Gregorius a Dynamio b patricio Galliarum, etc. Monstrat quam bene dispenset propria, qui fidelitcradministrat aliena. Quod vestra 648 nobis gloria ostendit, quæ perenni muneri intenta, beato Petro apostolorum principi suorum redituum fructus intulit. Cui dum sua fideliter impenditis, haec apud eum vestra munera fecistis. Sic quippe agere hujus terræ gloriosos de æterna gloria cogitantes decet, ut in eo quod temporaliter prævalent, mercedem sibi n n temporalem parent. Proinde debitum salutationi, alloquium persolventes, omnipotentem Dominum deprecamur ut vitam vestram et bonis præsentibus repleat, et ad suhlimia gaudia aeternitatis extendat. Suscepimus namque per Hilarum [Al.
Gregory to Dynamius, patrician of the Gauls, etc. He shows how well he dispenses his own goods, who faithfully administers those of another. This your glory has shown to us, which, intent upon an everlasting gift, has brought the fruits of its revenues to blessed Peter, prince of the Apostles. While you faithfully bestow upon him what is his own, you have thereby made these to be your own gifts before him. For thus it befits the glorious ones of this earth, thinking upon eternal glory, to act, so that in that wherein they temporally prevail they may procure for themselves a reward that is not temporal. Accordingly, discharging the address due to a greeting, we beseech the Almighty Lord that He may both fill your life with present goods and extend it to the sublime joys of eternity. For we have received, through Hilarus [Al.
額我略致高盧貴族狄納米烏斯等。誰忠信地管理他人之物，就顯明他多麼善於料理自己的財物。閣下的德望已向我們顯明了這一點——您專注於永恆的賞賜，將您產業的果實獻給了宗徒之首、有福的伯多祿。當您忠信地把本屬他的獻與他時，您便使這些於他面前成了您自己的獻禮。因為這正合乎此世顯貴之人思念永恆榮耀時所當有的行事：使他們在暫時興盛之處，為自己謀得非暫時的賞報。因此，我們履行問候應有的致意，懇求全能之主既以今生的美善充滿您的生命，又將它延伸至永恆崇高的喜樂。因為我們已藉——
283:2
Hilarium] fi lium nostrum de praefatis Ecclesiae nustrae reditibus c Gallicanos solidos quadringentos. Transmisimus autem beai! Peiri apostoli d benedictionem, crucem parvulam, cui de catenis ejus beneficia sunt inserta. Quæ illius quidem ad tempus ligaverunt, sed vestra colla in perpetuum a peccatis solvant. Per quatuor vero in circuitu partes, de beati Laurentii craticula, in qua perustus est, beneficia continentur, ut hoc, abi corpus illius pro veritate crematum est, vestram mentem ad amorem homini aecendat.
—Hilarius] our son received of the aforesaid revenues of our Church four hundred Gallic solidi. We have moreover transmitted a blessing of the blessed Apostle Peter, a small cross, into which are inserted benefits from his chains. These, indeed, bound him for a time, but may they loose your neck from sins forever. And through the four parts round about it are contained benefits from the gridiron of blessed Laurence, on which he was burned, so that this, wherefore his body was consumed for the truth, may kindle your mind to the love of the Lord.
——我們的兒子希拉里烏斯，收到了前述我們教會產業中的四百個高盧金幣。此外，我們送上有福宗徒伯多祿的祝福物：一個小十字架，其中嵌有出自他鎖鏈的聖物。這些鎖鏈昔日曾一時捆綁他，但願它們永遠鬆開你們的頸項，脫離罪惡。又在其四周的部分，藏有有福的勞倫佐被炙烤的鐵格的聖物，好使這鐵格——他的身體正是在其上為真理被焚——點燃你們的心，去愛慕主。
