345:1
Gregorius Felici episcopo et Cyriaco abbati. Querelam a Theodosiæ religiosæ feminae subditae vovis satis series relationis explanat, in qua plura et non ad sacerdotalem pertinentia mansuetudinem contra Januarium fratrem et coepiscopum 728 nostrum capitula comprehensa relegimus, ita ut pust fundatum a se servorum Dei monasterium, b omne quod ad avaritiam, turbulentiam praejudiciumque pertinet, c tempore dicatur oratorii Ipsius dedicationis exhibitum..
Gregory to Felix the bishop and Cyriacus the abbot. The series of the report sufficiently explains the complaint of Theodosia, a religious woman subject to you, in which we have read through many charges — and not such as pertain to sacerdotal gentleness — comprised against our brother and fellow-bishop Januarius: namely, that after a monastery of the servants of God had been founded by her, everything pertaining to avarice, turbulence, and prejudice is said to have been displayed at the very time of the dedication of that same oratory.
額我略致主教腓力斯與院長基里亞庫斯。稟報的內容充分說明了那受你們所轄的虔修婦女泰奧多西婭的申訴,在其中我們讀到許多控訴——並非屬於司祭之溫柔的那類——被列舉出來、指控我們的弟兄和同工主教雅努阿里烏斯:就是說,在她建立了一所神的僕人們的修道院之後,凡屬於貪婪、擾亂與偏頗之事,據說都在那同一祈禱所奉獻之時顯露出來。
345:2
Quamobrem si ita est ut ante fata ejus suggestione comperimus, et in hoc quidquam cognoscis indecentius ruisse commissum, hortamur ut Musicum abhatem monasterii Agilitani, remotis prius omnibus præjudiciis, studeatis ut in monachaos suos, quoa illic ordinare coeperat, summopere vacare festinet, quatenus ipso venerabili luco, d decenti regularique modo per vos, Domino juvante, disposito, nec frequens nos praedictae religiosae fem!nae de non impletis bonis desideriis suis querela COnCUtiat, neC cum vestrae detrimento sit animæ, si tam pium propositum aliqua vobis negligentibus, quod non credimus, dilatione torpescat.
Wherefore, if it is so as we have learned beforehand from her representation, and you recognize that anything more unseemly has been committed in this, we exhort that, all prejudices being first removed, you take care that Musicus, abbot of the monastery of Agilis, hasten to devote himself with all diligence to those his monks whom he had begun to ordain there; so that, that venerable place being disposed by you, with the Lord's help, in a becoming and regular manner, neither may the frequent complaint of the aforesaid religious woman about her good desires not being fulfilled shake us, nor may it be to the detriment of your soul, if — which we do not believe — so pious a purpose should grow torpid through some delay by your negligence.
因此,若真如我們預先從她的陳述所得知的,並且你認明在此事上有任何更不合宜之事已被犯下,我們就勸勉,要先除去一切偏頗,然後你們留意使阿吉利修道院的院長穆西庫斯,盡速殷勤地照顧他在那裡已開始祝聖的那些修士;好使那可敬之地既藉你們、靠主的幫助,以合宜且合規的方式得著治理,前述虔修婦女因其美善心願未得成全而屢屢申訴之事就不致擾亂我們,也不致使你們的靈魂受虧損——若那如此虔敬的宗旨因你們的疏忽而有所延宕以致遲鈍,這是我們所不信的。
