815:1
Gregorius Savino subdi icono regionario. Pervenit ad nos reverendi simum fratrem et coepiscopum nostrum a Palumbum, quod dici grave est, Ecclesiae suæ vel parochiarum causas 1135 et utilitates negligere, ut non solum res aliquas vel mancipia earum, sed etiam et ministeria apud diversos esse incaute patiatur. Quod ita esse hoc etiam nobis cx parte aliqua innuit ac confirmat, quod Gregorius lator præsentium, qui juris se Emolitanæ Ecclesiap, quae in ejus dioecesi constituta est, esse perbibet, ab alio se indebite, eo praesente, queritur servitio subjugari.
Gregory to Savinus, regionary subdeacon. It has come to us that our most reverend brother and fellow bishop Palumbus — which is grievous to say — neglects the affairs and interests of his Church and of its parishes, so that not only some of their goods or their slaves, but even their ministries he carelessly allows to be in the hands of various persons. That this is so, this also in some part suggests and confirms to us: that Gregory, the bearer of the present letter, who declares himself to be under the jurisdiction of the Emolitan Church, which is established in his diocese, complains that in his (the bishop's) presence he is unduly subjected by another to servitude.
額我略致巡區副執事薩維努斯。有消息傳到我們這裡：我們極可敬的弟兄與同為主教的帕倫布斯——說來令人痛心——竟疏忽了其教會及其堂區的事務與利益，以致不僅其中一些財物或奴僕，甚至連他們的職務，他都輕率地容讓落入形形色色之人手中。此事確係如此，這一點也在某種程度上向我們暗示並印證，即：本信的持有人額我略——他自稱隸屬於設於其教區內的厄摩利坦教會——控訴說：在他（主教）在場之下，他竟被另一人不當地強加奴役。
815:2
Ideoque experientia tua prædictum fratrem nostrum studeat commonere, ut res Ecclesiarum vel parochiarum suarum sive ministeria, rationabiliter vindicet atque defendat, et ab aliis detineri nullo motio patiatur. In qua re ne quam forte excusationem valeat invenire, tua ci volumus salva aequitate adesse solatia. Quem si forte, ut hactenus exst tii, videris esse negligentem, ea quae eum facere oportuerat te agere volumus et implere in omnibus, quatenus Ecclesiarum utilitas nulla occasione depcreat; sed et nobis quæque acta rucrint renuntiare festina, ut a nobis quid post hoc facere debeas instruaris. b Data mense Martii, indict. 6.
Therefore let your discretion be earnest to admonish our aforesaid brother, that he should reasonably claim and defend the goods of his Churches and parishes and their ministries, and by no means allow them to be held by others. And in this matter, lest perhaps he be able to find some excuse, we wish your aids, with equity preserved, to be at hand to him. But if perhaps you should see him to be negligent, as he has been hitherto, we wish you to do and to fulfill in all things those things which he ought to have done, so that the interest of the Churches may perish by no occasion; but also hasten to report to us whatever things shall have been done, so that you may be instructed by us what you ought to do after this. Given in the month of March, in the sixth indiction.
因此，願你的明斷殷切地勸勉我們前述的弟兄：他應合理地索回並維護其諸教會與堂區的財物及其職務，並絕不容讓它們被他人所佔。而在此事上，為免他或許能找到某種藉口，我們願你的援助在恪守公義之下隨時給予他。但倘若你或許看到他一如至今那樣疏忽，我們願你在一切事上代行並完成那些本應由他所作之事，好使諸教會的利益不致因任何緣故而受損；但也要趕快把凡所行之事向我們稟報，好使你能受我們指示此後你當如何行。發於三月，第六個徵稅年。
