Gregorius Theodoro curatori. Quia sic de gloria vestra sicut de charissimo revera filio omnino praesumimus, certi de vobis, eos qui nostri sunt commendamus. Ob q am rem, paterno salutantes affectu, quaasumus ut præsentium portitoribus, quos gloriosissimus Maurentius magister militum ad a precarium suum accipiendum transmisit, vestram tuitionem impertire dignemini; quatenus, vobis patrocinantibus, nec moram illic contra rationem nec laborem debeant sustiuere, sed quidquid praedicto 1185 gloriosissimo viro competit, gloriae vestrae opitulatione sine difficultate percipiar, ut et ipse nostris aniplius sit devotus ob equiis, et nos pro eo referre gratias, sicut dignum est, v:.leamus.
Gregory to Theodore the curator. Since we altogether presume of your Glory as of a truly most dear son, being certain of you, we commend to you those who are ours. For which reason, greeting you with fatherly affection, we ask that you deign to impart your protection to the bearers of these presents, whom the most glorious Maurentius, master of soldiers, has sent to receive his grant; so that, under your patronage, they may suffer neither delay there contrary to reason nor toil, but may without difficulty obtain, by the aid of your Glory, whatever befits the aforesaid most glorious man; so that he himself may be the more devoted in service to us, and we may be able to render thanks on his behalf, as is fitting.
額我略致監管人狄奧多。既然我們對你的榮耀一如對真正至親愛的兒子那樣全然信任，並對你有把握，我們就把屬我們的人託付於你。為此緣故，我們以父親般的慈愛問候你，並求你俯允把你的護庇施予持此函者，就是至榮耀的軍務長毛倫提所差遣、來領取其所賜之物的人；好使他們在你的庇護下，在那裡既不至違理地受延誤，也不至勞苦，乃藉你榮耀的援助毫無困難地取得凡合於前述至榮耀者之物；如此使他更加殷勤地服事我們，我們也能如所當然地為他獻上感謝。
