813:1
Gregorius a Bonifat io notario Corsicjc. Ea quae nobis experientia tua de Joanne, Ravennate clerico, indicavit facere, idcirco distulimus, b quia de qualitate personae absentis judicare non possumus. Sed hortare eum ut ad nos venire festinet, quatenus in prasenti mores et personæ ipsius qualitatem subtiliter addiscentes, quid de his quae petit fieri debeat siue dubietate aliqua disponamus.
Gregory to Boniface, notary of Corsica. Those things which your discretion has indicated to us to do concerning John, a cleric of Ravenna, we have for this reason deferred: because we cannot judge concerning the character of a person who is absent. But exhort him to hasten to come to us, so that, learning carefully in his presence his manners and the character of his person, we may arrange, without any doubt, what ought to be done concerning those things which he asks.
額我略致科西嘉的公證人博尼法。凡你的明斷向我們指示要對拉溫納的一位神職人員若望所行之事，我們之所以延緩，是因為我們無法就一位不在場之人的品格加以判斷。但要勸他趕快前來我們這裡，好使我們在他當面之下，仔細了解他的品行與其人的品格，從而毫無疑慮地就他所求之事應如何處理作出安排。
