503:1
Gregorius Mariniano episcopo Ravennæ. Joannes praesentium portitor queritur uxorem suam, moleslias Georgii cujusdam refugientem, * diu in septis venerabilibus residere, et nullum hactenus invenire solatium. Cujus quia de conditiune esse controversiam asserit, et vestrae eam fraternitati petiit commendandam, his 910 vos hortamur affatibus ut eidem mulieri, servata æquitate, debeatis tuitionem impendere, et a nullo eam contra rationis ordinem gravari aliquo modo permittatis. b Sed si de statu ejus quæstio perseverat, bUSSANV. studii vestri sit ut sine oppressione aliqua, legali modo, ad judicium veniatur;
Gregory to Marinianus, bishop of Ravenna. John, the bearer of the present letter, complains that his wife, fleeing the molestations of a certain George, has long resided within the venerable enclosures, and has hitherto found no solace. Since he asserts that there is a controversy concerning her status, and has asked that she be commended to Your Fraternity, we exhort you by these words that you ought, equity being preserved, to extend protection to that same woman, and that you permit her to be burdened by no one in any way against the order of reason. But if a question concerning her status persists, let it be your care that the matter come to judgment without any oppression, in a lawful manner;
額我略致拉溫納主教瑪利尼亞努斯。本信持信人若望申訴說，他的妻子為逃避某喬治的騷擾，長久居於可敬的隱居所內，迄今找不到任何援助。既然他聲稱關於她的身分有一項爭議，並請求將她託付於你們弟兄之愛，我們便以此言勸勉你：你理當在保守公道的前提下，向這位婦人施以保護，並且不容任何人以任何方式違背情理的次序去為難她。但若關於她身分的爭訟仍然持續，就當由你負責，使此事在毫無壓迫之下、依合法的途徑訴諸審判；
503:2
quatenus, dum, veritate cognita, quod juris ordo suaserit fuerit definitum, neutra se pars aliquod doleat præjudicium pertulisse. e Mense Maii, indictione prima.
so that, when, the truth being known, that which the order of law shall have counselled has been determined, neither party may grieve to have suffered any prejudice. In the month of May, in the first indiction.
好使當真相明白、法律的次序所判定的事得以裁決之後，任何一方都不致哀嘆自己蒙受了任何不公。五月，第一小紀。
