770:1
Gregor ius Maurentio magistro militum. Propterea quod in Ecclesiis beatorum Petri et Pauli trabes sunt necessariae, omnino Sat'ino subdiacono injunximus ut aliquantas a de partibus Brutiorum incidere et ad locum unde huc per mare duci possint trahere debeat. Sed quoniam solus hoc facere non assurgl, Arogi scripsimus ut homines qui sub co sunt, cuin bobus suis, in ejus deputet i e solatiis, promittentes quia dum res perfecta fuerit, dignum ei xenium transmittemus. Gloria ergo vestra epistolam nostram ad cum sub urbana persona studeat sub celeritate transmittere, quæ ci hoc quod scripsimus deferat, ut antedictus subdiaconus voluntatem ipsius possit agnoscere.
Gregory to Maurentius, master of soldiers. Because beams are necessary in the churches of the blessed Peter and Paul, we have altogether enjoined upon Savinus, subdeacon, that he ought to cut some in the region of the Bruttii and drag them to a place from which they can be brought hither by sea. But since he cannot rise to accomplish this alone, we have written to Arogis that he should assign the men who are under him, with their oxen, to his aid, promising that when the work is finished we will send him a worthy gift. Let your Glory therefore take pains to send our letter to him with speed by a townsman, which may convey to him what we have written, so that the aforesaid subdeacon may be able to learn his will.
額我略致軍隊統帥毛倫提烏。因為在真福伯多祿與保祿的聖堂中需要樑木，我們已完全囑咐副執事撒維努，命他當在布魯提伊地區砍伐一些樑木，並拖至可由海路運至此處之地。但既然他獨力難以擔此重任，我們已致函阿羅吉斯，命他派遣其屬下之人連同其牛隻前來相助，並允諾工程完竣之時，我們必送他一份相稱的禮物。故願你閣下設法藉一名城中人速將我們的信函送交於他，好把我們所寫的傳達給他，使前述副執事得以知曉他的意向。
770:2
Si vero navigii prosperitate inventa discesserit, cuncta ei gloria vestra 1193 per snas epistolas innotescat, ut sciatquid agere debeat, sed et nobis similiter quæ acta fuerint indicate.
But if he should have departed, a favourable voyage having been found, let your Glory make all things known to him through your own letters, so that he may know what he ought to do; and likewise inform us of what shall have been done.
但倘若他已因覓得順利航程而啟程，願你閣下藉你自己的信函將一切告知他，使他知道當如何行事；同樣也請將所辦成之事告知我們。
