443:1
Gregorius Arigio Patricio Galliæ. Quanta in vobis bonitas, quantaqoc mansuetudo tOm Christo placita charitate n resplendeat,834 latore præsentium Augustino servo Dei referente comperimus; atque omnipotenti Dco gratias agimus, qui haec in vobis pietatis suæ dona concessit, per quæ inter homines valde laudabiles, et ante conspectum ipsius, quod est veraciter utile, gloriosi possitis existere. Oramus ergo omnipotentem Dominum, ut haec in vobis quæ concessit dona multiplicet, et sua vos cum Omnibus vestris protectione custodiat, ct ita actionem gloriæ vestræ in hoc sæculo disponat, ut ct hic vobis et in futura, quod magis optandum eat, vita proficiat.
Gregory to Arigius, Patrician of Gaul. How great is the goodness in you, and how great the gentleness that shines forth with a charity pleasing to Christ, we have learned from the report of Augustine, servant of God and bearer of this letter; and we give thanks to almighty God, who has bestowed these gifts of His loving-kindness upon you, through which you may be able to be both greatly praiseworthy among men and glorious in His sight, which is truly profitable. We therefore pray the almighty Lord that He may multiply in you these gifts which He has bestowed, and may guard you with all yours by His protection, and so order the conduct of your Glory in this world that it may profit you both here and, what is more to be desired, in the life to come.
額我略致高盧貴族阿里吉烏斯。你裡面何等的善良，何等的溫良，藉著蒙基督喜悅的愛德閃耀出來，我們已從天主的僕人、本信持送者奧斯定的稟報中得知；我們感謝全能的天主，祂將祂慈愛的這些恩賜賜給你，好使你既能在人中間大受稱讚，又能在祂——這才是真正有益的——面前成為榮耀的。因此我們祈求全能的主，願祂使祂所賜給你的這些恩賜在你裡面加增，並以祂的保護護守你與你的一切人，如此安排你尊駕在今世的行事，使之對你既在此地、又（這更當渴望）在來生有益。
443:2
Salutantes itaque gloriam vestram paterna dulcedine potimus ut lator præsentium, et servi Dei qni cum co sunt, vestra in quibus necesse ruerit solatia consequantur, quatenus Uum vestrmn favorem invenerint, injuncta sibi melius, adjuvante Domino, valeant adimplere. Præterea filium nostrum Candidum presbyterum, quem ad gubernationem patrimonii Ecclesiæ nostræ, quod illic cst, transmisimus, vobis per omnia commendamus; confidentes a Deo nostro vos mercedis vicem recipere, si b rebus pauperum solatia sua gloria vestra devota mente præstiterit.
Greeting therefore your Glory with fatherly sweetness, we ask that the bearer of this letter, and the servants of God who are with him, may obtain your comfort in whatever shall be needful, so that, when they have found your favour, they may, with the Lord's help, be the better able to fulfil what has been enjoined upon them. Furthermore, we commend to you in all things our son Candidus the priest, whom we have sent for the governance of the patrimony of our Church that is there; trusting that you will receive from our God a recompense of reward, if your Glory shall with a devout mind afford its comfort to the goods of the poor.
因此我們以慈父的溫柔問候你尊駕，請求你在一切所需之事上向本信的持送者以及與他同行的天主僕人施予扶助，好使他們得著你的恩眷後，能靠主的幫助更好地成就交付於他們的事。此外，我們在一切事上將我們之子、司鐸甘迪杜斯——我們差他去治理設在那裡的本教會產業——託付給你；我們相信，倘若你尊駕以虔誠的心向窮人的財物施予扶助，你必從我們的天主得著賞報的回酬。
