768:1
Gregorius * Eupatori duci Sardiniæ. Cum lator praesentium b Valdarichus illa nos pro sua commendatione scribere postulet quæ magnitudinem vestram æquitatis intuitu s'ne cujusquam etiam intercessione non dubitamus efficere, petitionem ipsius minime de piciendam prospeximus.
Gregory to Eupaterius, duke of Sardinia. Since the bearer of the present letter, Valdarichus, asks us to write on his behalf those things which, out of regard for equity, we do not doubt your Magnificence would do even without anyone's intercession, we have judged that his petition is by no means to be despised.
額我略致撒丁尼亞公爵歐帕特里烏。既然本函持有者瓦爾達里庫斯懇請我們為他寫下這些事,而這些事我們深信你閣下出於對公道的顧念,即使無人代求也定會照辦,我們便判斷他的請求斷不可輕忽。
768:2
Quia ergo ut cum uxore sua, quam hic de Romana civitate esse perhibet, reverti, sicut desiderat, valeat vestris se poscit patrociniis 1192 adjuvandum, paternoe dilectionis salutantes affectu, petimus ut hac in re magnitudinis vestrae tuitionem habeat, et a nullo eos illic contra rationis ordinem impediri prmittatis, sed desideriis eorum pro vestra nlercede adesse et concurrere debeatis, quatenus et illi se adjutos vestra ope congandeant, et magnitudo vestra poscenti-bus impendisse quod justum piumque est videatur.
Since therefore he begs to be aided by your patronage, that he may be able, as he desires, to return with his wife, whom he affirms to be here from the city of Rome, greeting you with the affection of fatherly love, we ask that in this matter he may have the protection of your Magnificence, and that you would allow them there to be hindered by no one contrary to the order of reason, but that for your own reward you would be present and lend your aid to their desires, so that both they may rejoice to be aided by your help, and your Magnificence may be seen to have bestowed upon the petitioners that which is just and holy.
既然他懇求得你的庇護之助,好使他能如願偕其妻返回——他聲稱其妻乃自羅馬城而來——我們便以慈父之愛的情懷問候你,並懇請你在此事上使他得你閣下的保護,並使他們在那裡不致被任何人以違背情理的方式阻撓,反倒為你自身的賞報,你當親臨並助成他們的願望,好使他們既因你的援助而歡欣得助,你閣下也可被視為向求助者施行了公義而虔敬之事。
