632:1
Gregorius Romano defensori. Fuscus, abbas monasterii sanctorum Erasmi, Malimi, atque Julianæ, a quod Neapoli ab Alexandra, clarissimae memoriæ femina, sicut nosti, fundatum est, quae etiam et baeredem instituit, massam Papyrianensem quae illic in Slcilia sita est, cum xenodochio sancti Tbeodori, suprascriptum monasterium suum asserit habere communem. Sed ut ad dividendam eam, cum his quorum interest, dilationem non debeat sustinere, experientiae tuae sibi petit adesse solatium. Proinde bujus tibi serie præceptionis injungimus ut ei concurrere atque in omnibus solatiari festines, quatenus massa ipsa secundum portione competentes sine mora aliqua dividatur.
Gregory to Romanus the defensor. Fuscus, abbot of the monastery of Saints Erasmus, Maximus, and Juliana — which, as you know, was founded at Naples by Alexandra, a woman of most illustrious memory, who also appointed as her heir the estate of Papyrianum situated there in Sicily, together with the hospice of Saint Theodore — asserts that his aforesaid monastery holds this in common. But that it may not have to endure delay in dividing it with those whom it concerns, he asks that the help of your experience be present to him. Therefore by the tenor of this instruction we enjoin upon you to hasten to assist him and to aid him in all things, so that the estate itself may be divided according to the due portions without any delay.
額我略致護衛官羅馬努斯。埃拉斯莫、瑪希莫與尤利安納諸聖的隱修院院長福斯庫斯——如你所知,該院是由極為顯赫、令人懷念的婦人亞歷山德拉在那不勒斯所建立,她並立那座位於西西里的帕皮里亞農莊園、連同聖狄奧多祿的收容所為繼承產業——主張他前述的隱修院共有此產。但為使該院不必在與相關者分產一事上拖延,他請求你的幹練予以協助。因此,我們藉此訓令的內容囑咐你,速去協助他、在一切事上幫助他,使那莊園得按應得的份額毫無延遲地劃分。
632:2
Sed ne forte dicatur quia a praedicto monasterio possessiones quae bic communes sunt detinentur, esse ex hoc excusatio non debet, quia et ipsas paratus est sine difficultate dividere. Quia vero legatum quod prædictæ Alexandrae aPompeio relictum dicitur, ab eodem quippe xenodochio, quod ei in octo unciis jure perhibetur hæreditario successisse, b memoratus abbas suo inquit monasterio redhiberj, et hoc quoque experientia tua curet addiscere; et si ita est, agere studeat ut quod relictum est modis omnibus elsolvatur. Ita ergo sollicitudo tua in hac se re exhibeat, ut suffragante justitia, praedicti abbatis labor, quem ad nos veniendo assumpsit, vacuus esse non debeat.
But lest perchance it be said that possessions which are here held in common are being retained by the aforesaid monastery, there ought to be no excuse from this, since it too is prepared to divide them without difficulty. But since the legacy which is said to have been left to the aforesaid Alexandra by Pompeius — namely by that same hospice, to which she is held to have succeeded by hereditary right in eight-twelfths — the said abbot says is owed as a repayment to his monastery, let your experience take care to learn this also; and if it is so, let him be zealous to act so that what was left may by all means be paid out. So then let your solicitude show itself in this matter that, with justice supporting it, the labor which the aforesaid abbot undertook in coming to us may not prove to be in vain.
但為免有人說前述隱修院扣留此處共有的產業,這不應成為藉口,因為該院也已預備好毫無困難地予以劃分。至於那份據說由龐培遺留給前述亞歷山德拉的遺產——即由那同一座收容所所留,她據稱按繼承權承繼了其中八分之八——前述院長說應償還給他的隱修院,這事也請你的幹練費心查明;若確是如此,就當設法使那遺留之物務必以各種方式清償。因此,願你的關切在此事上顯明出來,使得在公義的支持下,前述院長為前來見我們所付出的辛勞不至於落空。
