680:1
Gregorius Hilario notario. Navem in qua Vitalis præsentium portitor navigat ad dilectissimam filiam nostram Adeodatam abbatissam, pro sustentatione monasterii sui emissam eognoscas. Qua illuc veniente, hac 1090 tibi auctoritate praecipimus ut ita eam in cunctis tuearis, atquo ab omni angaria vel onere eluere excusareque festines, ac si specialiter nostra sit. Nam nostri causa in eodem monasterio tanta congregatio, De > propitio, degere comprobatur, ut plus illi solatiari atque concurrere quam nostrae in omnibus festinemus Ecclesiæ.
Gregory to Hilarus the notary. Know that the ship in which Vitalis, the bearer of the present letter, sails, has been sent out to our most beloved daughter Adeodata the abbess for the support of her monastery. When it arrives there, we command you by this authority so to protect it in all things, and to make haste to free and excuse it from every forced service or burden, as though it were especially our own. For, God being favourable, so great a congregation is proven to dwell in that monastery for our sake, that we would hasten to comfort and assist it more than our own Church in all respects.
額我略致公證員希拉盧斯。你當知悉,本函持有人維達利斯所乘的那艘船,是為維持我們至愛之女、院長阿德奧妲塔的隱修院而派出的。當船抵達那裡時,我們憑此權柄命你在一切事上護衛它,並急速使它免除一切強制勞役或負擔,如同它是我們特有的產業一般。因為蒙天主眷佑,那隱修院中為我們之故而聚居的團體極為眾多,以致我們在凡事上急欲扶助並援救它,甚於援救我們自己的教會。
680:2
Et ideo postquam voluntatem nostram experientia tua circa prædictum monasterium talem esse cognoscit, ita se in tuitione supradictæ, ut diximus, navis impendat, ut te illic posito, nullam moram vel impedimentum ab aliquo valeat sustinere. Naui si, quod non credimus, in aliquo negligens esse teutaveris, vehemeotcr te nostram noveris offensatn incurrerc.
And therefore, since your Experience knows our will regarding the aforesaid monastery to be such, so exert yourself in the protection of the said ship, as we have said, that, you being posted there, it may be able to suffer no delay or hindrance from anyone. But if—which we do not believe—you should attempt to be in any way negligent, know that you will grievously incur our offence.
因此,既然你的幹練已知我們對上述隱修院的意願如此,你便當如我們所言,在護衛該船上盡力而為,好使有你駐守那裡,它不致遭受任何人的耽延或阻礙。但倘若——我們並不相信會如此——你竟試圖在任何事上懈怠,你要知道你將嚴重觸犯我們的不悅。
