1:1491

sacerdotes, qui catholicam pacem desiderant, professionem catholicam non recusent. non enim opus est partibus errorem corrigi sed radicitus amputari. insistite igitur, sicut coepistis, ut merces apud deum uestra, quae de boni operis inchoatione habet initium, de perfectione consequatur effectum. animum quidem uestrum talem missa ad nos testantur alloquia, ut ad plenitudinem boni propositi non multum indigeatis hortatu: nostri tamen desiderii ea, quae spem dedit, ratio amplius accendit ardorem et auidius gaudia impleri cupimus, quae instare iam diuinitus arbitramur.

願那些渴望公教平安的司祭不推辭公教的認信。因為錯謬不當僅在局部改正，乃當連根剷除。所以要照你們所開始的努力前行，使你們在神那裡的賞賜——它從善工的開端起始——能因臻於完全而得著果效。誠然，寄給我們的言論見證你們的心志如此，以致為著美善旨意的圓滿，你們並不甚需勸勉；然而，賜下盼望的我們渴望之理由，愈發激起我們的熱切，我們更急切地切望那些喜樂得以成就——這些喜樂我們如今判斷已藉神聖旨意臨近。

let the priests who desire catholic peace not refuse the catholic profession. For it is not needful that error be corrected in parts, but that it be cut out by the roots. Press on therefore, as you have begun, that your reward with God, which has its beginning from the inception of a good work, may attain its effect from perfection. Indeed, the discourses sent to us testify that your mind is such that, for the fullness of a good purpose, you have no great need of exhortation; nevertheless, the reason of our desire, which has given hope, kindles our ardor the more, and we more eagerly long for the joys to be fulfilled, which we now judge to be at hand by divine ordinance.

1:1492

hinc <est>, quod beatum Petrum apostolum cotidie suppliciter obsecramus, ut uobis, per quos integrari membra sua sancta iam sperat ecclesia, et effectum deus celerem et salutem tribuat longiorem. nos quidem nestris animis obsequentes uiros direximus ad solidandam sub apostolicae dispositionis ordinatione concordiam: uestrum est, ut sicut nos bonae intentioni deesse noluimus, ita eos ad nos optatum referre faciatis effectum. munus uestrum ueneranda sacraria susceperunt: quod amplius beato Petro apostolo facietis acceptius, si per uos optatam ecclesiae receperint unitatem. (155.) HORIMSDA THEODOSIO ARCHIDIACONO CONSTANTINOPOLITANO ET UNIUERSIS CATHOLICIS A PARI.

由此，我們每日懇切祈求蒙福的使徒伯多祿，使神將迅速的果效與更長的救恩賜給你們——因藉你們，聖教會如今盼望她的肢體得以復全。我們確實順從自己的決意，差遣了人來鞏固在使徒治理規定之下的和睦：而你們則當使他們，正如我們不願虧欠一美善意向，也照樣把所渴望的果效帶回給我們。可敬的聖所已領受了你們的獻禮：但倘若藉你們，眾教會領受了所渴望的合一，你們就作成了更蒙蒙福使徒伯多祿悅納之事。（一五五）霍爾米斯達致君士坦丁堡總執事狄奧多西及全體公教信徒，同樣。

Hence it is that we daily beseech the blessed Apostle Peter in supplication, that to you, through whom the holy Church now hopes her members to be made whole, God may grant both a speedy effect and a longer salvation. We indeed, in obedience to our own resolve, have directed men to consolidate concord under the ordinance of apostolic disposition: it is yours to see that, just as we were unwilling to be wanting to a good intention, so you may make them bring back to us the desired effect. The venerable sanctuaries have received your gift; but you will do what is yet more acceptable to the blessed Apostle Peter, if through you they receive the desired unity of the Church. (155.) HORMISDAS TO THEODOSIUS, ARCHDEACON OF CONSTANTINOPLE, AND TO ALL CATHOLICS, LIKEWISE.

1:1493

Gratias misericordiae diuinae competenter exsoluimus, quae fidem uestram diu laborare non passa est. nam tempus oblatum est, quo filios, milites suos, catholica recuperare possit ecclesia. quae enim maior animum nostrum potest obtinere in<cun>ditas quam malorum commemorata depulsio? gaudiis praesentibus compensate afflictionis incommoda, quia deus noster, qui remedio fuit, aduersis opprimi caritatem uestram noluit sed probari. nam si transacti temporis mala cum praesenti, quae diuina esse non ambigitur, retributione compensetis, quis dubitat ampliora uos praemia consecutos, quam nocere potuisset aduersitas?

我們已合宜地向神聖的憐憫獻上感恩，因祂不容你們的信德長久勞苦。因為已賜下一個時機，在其中公教會可以尋回她的眾子、她的兵士。因為還有什麼比記錄下來的眾惡被驅逐更能佔據我們的心的喜樂呢？當以現今的喜樂補償苦難的患難，因為我們的神——祂曾作良藥——不願你們的仁愛被逆境壓垮，乃願受試驗。因為倘若你們以現今的——毫無疑問是神聖的——報償補償過往時日的眾惡，誰能懷疑你們所得的獎賞，遠勝過逆境所能加害的呢？

We have fittingly paid our thanks to the divine mercy, which has not suffered your faith to labor long. For a time has been offered in which the catholic Church may recover her sons, her soldiers. For what greater gladness can possess our mind than the recorded expulsion of evils? Compensate with present joys the inconveniences of affliction, because our God, who was a remedy, did not wish your Charity to be crushed by adversities, but to be proved. For if you compensate the evils of the past time with the present retribution—which is not doubted to be divine—who doubts that you have attained greater rewards than adversity could have harmed?

1:1494

et quamuis pro statu fidei catholicae numquam sollicitudo nostra cessauerit, tamen serenissimi principis sacris affatibus incitati legatos destinare curauimus, quorum officio deo auctore in his, quae saepe mandauimus, subsequi non dubitamus effectum. et ideo competenter enitere, ut ecclesiae catholicae hoc praecipuum uestrae liberationis munus possitis offerre, quatenus repulsis omnibus, quae hactenus nocuerunt, in una quam semper optauimus communione gratulantes deo nostro laudes referre sine cessatione possimus. (156.) HORMISDA EUFIMIAE AUGUSTAE.

雖然我們的掛慮從未在公教信仰的境況上止息，然而受至尊嚴君主聖諭的激勵，我們著意委派了使節，藉他們的職事，我們毫不懷疑，以神為主宰，在我們屢次吩咐之事上，果效必隨之而至。因此，你們要合宜地竭力，好使你們能將這你們得釋放的卓越獻禮呈給公教會，使一切迄今為害之事既被逐除，我們便能在我們一向所渴望的唯一共融中歡欣，不住地向我們的神獻上讚美。（一五六）霍爾米斯達致奧古斯塔攸斐米亞。

And although our solicitude has never ceased for the state of the catholic faith, nevertheless, incited by the sacred addresses of the most serene Prince, we have taken care to appoint legates, by whose service we do not doubt, with God as author, that the effect will follow in those things which we have often enjoined. And therefore strive fittingly, that you may be able to offer to the catholic Church this excellent gift of your liberation, so that, all things being repelled which have hitherto done harm, we may, rejoicing in the one communion which we have always desired, be able without ceasing to render praises to our God. (156.) HORMISDAS TO EUPHEMIA, THE AUGUSTA.

1:1495

Ecclesiarum pax iam caelesti ordinatione componitur, cum uos ad imperium deus elegit, apud quos esse integrum semper religionis suae cognouit affectum. nam sicut in priuata uita deum semper recto dogmate coluistis, ut de religionis concordia cogitetis, et multa quidem inter ipsa imperii uestri primordia facta sunt, quae spem nobis correctionis integrae pollicentur. unde, quia in uobis amorem feruere fidei gratulamur, agentes deo gratias cotidie pro uobis beato Petro apostolo supplicamus, ut uotis uestris apud dominum suffragetur et cursum bonae uoluntatis adimpleat. nec dubium est diuinis uos auxiliis adiuuari, quia tanto religionis studio mandatis caelestibus oboeditis.

眾教會的平安如今正藉天上的旨意被建立起來，因神已揀選你們登基，並認出祂信仰的深情在你們心中始終完好無損。因為正如你們在私人生活中一向以正直的教義敬拜神，以致如今你們掛念信仰的和睦，在你們統治之初實在已成就了許多事，向我們應許了完全改正的盼望。為此，因我們歡喜信德之愛在你們心中熾燃，我們向神獻上感恩，每日為你們懇求蒙福的使徒伯多祿，使他在主面前為你們的心願代求，並成全你們善意的進程。你們蒙神聖的助佑毫無可疑，因你們以如此的信仰熱忱順從天上的命令。

The peace of the Churches is now being composed by heavenly ordinance, since God has chosen you for the empire, among whom He has recognized the affection of His religion always to be intact. For just as in private life you always worshipped God with right doctrine, so that you now take thought for the concord of religion, many things indeed have been done in the very beginnings of your reign which promise us the hope of full correction. Whence, because we rejoice that the love of the faith burns in you, giving thanks to God, we daily supplicate the blessed Apostle Peter on your behalf, that he may intercede with the Lord for your vows and may fulfill the course of your good will. Nor is there any doubt that you are aided by divine helps, because with such zeal of religion you obey the heavenly commands.

1:1496

ninc est, quod quia sanctum coniugii uestri constat esse propositum, has fiducialiter ad uestram clementiam litteras destinamus, ut per uos ad perficiendam ecclesiae pacem mariti uestri pietas amplius incitetur. magnum opus arripuistis, magna uobis causa commissa est. per uos enim populos Christus uult ad ecclesiae foedera reuocare, quos per se uoluit a morte redimere. magna etiam uestro sexui parata est laudis occasio, si uobis instantibus ecclesiae suae Christus, quae diuisa fuerant, membra coniungat. nec enim maior est gloria, quae humanae salutis lignum scrutata est et sola crucem, quam omnis ue(ne>ratur mundus, inuenit:

由此可知，因你們婚姻的旨意既被確立為聖潔，我們便滿懷信心把這書信寄給你們慈明的殿下，好使藉著你們，你們夫君的虔敬能更受激勵，去成就教會的平安。你們承擔了一項偉大的工作，一項偉大的使命已託付予你們。因為藉著你們，基督願把那些祂親自甘願從死亡中救贖的萬民召回教會的盟約。對你們的性別，也預備了一個獲讚譽的大好機會，倘若因你們的懇切，基督把那曾被分裂的肢體重新聯於祂的教會。因為那尋出人類救恩之木、獨自尋見普世所敬拜之十字架者的榮耀，也不過如此：

Hence it is that, because the purpose of your marriage is established to be holy, we confidently direct these letters to your Clemency, that through you the piety of your husband may be the more incited toward accomplishing the peace of the Church. You have taken up a great work, a great cause has been committed to you. For through you Christ wishes to recall to the covenants of the Church those peoples whom through Himself He willed to redeem from death. A great occasion for praise is also prepared for your sex, if, at your insistence, Christ may join to His Church the members which had been divided. For no greater is the glory of her who searched out the wood of human salvation and alone found the Cross, which all the world venerates:

1:1497

superabitis quin immo illius merita, quia ecclesiae unitas per illam suum inuenit signum, per uos est habitura remedium. agat igitur iugalis uestri religiosa clementia, ut fratres et coepiscopi nostri sub eo libelli tenore, quem dudum misimus, fidem suam dignentur adserere, quatenus perfecta possit esse, quae est inchoata, correctio. quia irrita est quaelibet in cultura dei confessio, cui deest fidei plenitudo. hoc enim, quod a reliquis fieri poscimus, a multis iam sacerdotibus constat effectum et unitas esse iusta in communione non poterit, si non fuerit in reuersione seruata. (157.) HORMISDA ANASTASIAE ET PALMATIAE A PARI.

不，你們甚至要超越她的功勞，因為教會的合一——藉她尋得了它的記號——藉你們則要得著它的補救。所以，願你們配偶那虔敬的慈明採取行動，使我們的弟兄和同僚主教們，按我們近日所寄信約的內容，肯屈尊確認他們的信德，好使那已開始的改正得以臻於完全。因為在敬拜神之事上，任何缺乏信德圓滿的認信都是徒然的。因為這我們求別人去行之事，確已由許多司祭成就了；而合一在共融中若不在歸回中得以保守，便不能是公義的。（一五七）霍爾米斯達致阿納斯塔西亞與帕爾瑪提亞，同樣。

nay rather, you will surpass her merits, because the unity of the Church, which through her found its sign, is through you to have its remedy. Let therefore the religious clemency of your consort act, that our brothers and fellow-bishops may deign, under that tenor of the libellus which we lately sent, to assert their faith, so that the correction which has been begun may be able to be perfected. For any confession in the worship of God is void which lacks the fullness of faith. For this, which we ask to be done by the rest, is established to have been accomplished already by many priests, and unity cannot be just in communion, if it is not preserved in the return. (157.) HORMISDAS TO ANASTASIA AND PALMATIA, LIKEWISE.

1:1498

Bonae uoluntatis studium diuinae semper comitatur prosperitatis effectus. dei nostri prouidentia temporis facultas oblata est, in qua pro fidei uestrae praemio debetis adniti.

神聖亨通的果效常伴隨善意的熱忱。藉我們神的護理，一個時機的良機已被賜下，在其中你們當為你們信德的賞賜竭力奮鬥。

The effect of divine prosperity always accompanies the zeal of a good will. By the providence of our God the opportunity of a time has been offered, in which you ought to strive for the reward of your faith.

1:1499

de superna primitus misericordia, deinceps de conscientia clementissimi principis praesumentes legatos pro religionis catholicae causa direximus, per quos amplitudinem uestram debitae reuerentiae salutamus officio, postulantes, ut pro ecclesiasticae redintegratione concordiae uestrum laborem atque operam non negetis, quatenus cum repulsis remotisque his, quos apostolicae sedis damnauit auctoritas, ad unam, quae recta est, communionem plebs Christiana redierit, beatum Petrum apostolum, pro cuius fide nitimur, in uestris habere possitis actibus adiutorem. (158.) INDICULUS QVEM ACCEPERUNT LEGATI NOSTRI QVI SUPRA.

我們首先仰賴至上的憐憫，其次仰賴至仁慈君主的良心，為公教信仰之事差遣了使節，藉他們我們以應有敬重之職問候你們閣下，懇求你們不要吝惜為教會和睦的復合而勞苦盡力，好使當那些為使徒座之權柄所定罪者被逐除、被剷去，基督徒百姓歸回那正直的唯一共融時，你們便能在你們的行動中，以我們為其信仰而竭力的蒙福使徒伯多祿為助佑者。（一五八）我們上述使節所領受的訓令。

Presuming first upon the supernal mercy, and thereafter upon the conscience of the most clement Prince, we have directed legates on behalf of the cause of the catholic religion, through whom we greet your Magnitude with the office of due reverence, asking that you not deny your labor and effort for the reintegration of ecclesiastical concord, so that, when those whom the authority of the Apostolic See has condemned have been repelled and removed, and the Christian people has returned to the one communion which is right, you may be able to have the blessed Apostle Peter—for whose faith we strive—as a helper in your acts. (158.) THE INSTRUCTION WHICH OUR LEGATES ABOVE-MENTIONED RECEIVED.

1:1500

Cum deo propitio partes Orientales fueritis ingressi, si qui episcopi uobis occurrerint et libellum, cuius continentiam percepistis, a se subscriptum offerre uoluerint, suscipite eisque praebete sanctae communionis consortium. si uero occurrentes episcopi eo, quo superius diximus, ordine profiteri noluerint, a uobis equidem sub sacerdotali affectione tractentur, sed neque uobis sit cum his mensa communis neque ab his uel uictualia praesumatis accipere nisi tantum subuectionem, si causa poposcerit, et hospitalitatem, ne credant se omnino fastidiose despectos.

當神施恩眷佑、你們進入東方諸境時，倘若有主教前來迎見你們，並願呈上他們親自簽署的信約——你們已領受其內容——就當接納他們，並賜他們聖餐共融的團契。但倘若前來迎見的主教不願按我們上述的方式認信，你們固然當以司祭的深情對待他們，但你們與他們之間不可有同桌之食，你們也不可擅自從他們接受任何食物——除非只是路途所需的接送（若事情有此需要）與款待——免得他們以為自己全然被輕蔑鄙視。

When, God being propitious, you have entered the Eastern parts, if any bishops meet you and wish to offer the libellus—whose contents you have received—subscribed by themselves, receive them and grant them the fellowship of holy communion. But if the bishops who meet you are unwilling to profess in that order which we have said above, let them indeed be treated by you with priestly affection, yet let there be no common table between you and them, nor may you presume to accept from them either provisions—except only conveyance, if the cause should require it, and hospitality—lest they believe themselves to be altogether contemptuously despised.

1:1501

cum autem Constantinopolim deo iuuante ueneritis, in ea succedite, quam imperator praebuerit, mansione et nullum ad salutationem uestram prius permittatis accedere exceptis his, quos ipse miserit imperator aut quos nostrae communionis esse cognoscitis, donec ipsum principem uideatis. cui praesentati salutantes litteras nostras offerte, suggerentes magnum nos de eius imperio gaudium percepisse et nimium gratulari, quod eum deus omnipotens ad hoc iuxta eius sacras litteras * *, ut secundum ea, quae sunt ab apostolicae sedis constituta praesulibus, deo auctore et regno eius adnitente ecclesiarum et pax et unitas <tantis> temporibus desiderata proueniat.

但當神幫助你們來到君士坦丁堡時，要住在皇帝所提供的居所，並且不容任何人在你們見到君主本人之前先來問候你們，唯有皇帝親自差來的、或你們認出屬我們共融的人例外。當你們被引見於他、向他問候時，要呈上我們的書信，示意我們為他的帝權領受了極大的喜樂，並且極其歡欣：因全能的神為此揀選了他——按他的聖諭所言——好使按使徒座為眾主教所立定的規定，以神為主宰、又有他的統治協力奮進，眾教會歷經這些歲月如此長久所渴望的平安與合一得以實現。

But when, God helping, you have come to Constantinople, take up your lodging in the residence which the Emperor shall provide, and permit no one to approach for your greeting beforehand, except those whom the Emperor himself has sent or those whom you know to be of our communion, until you see the Prince himself. Being presented to him and greeting him, offer our letters, suggesting that we have received great joy concerning his empire and rejoice exceedingly that Almighty God has [chosen] him for this—according to his sacred letters—that, in accordance with those things which have been established by the Apostolic See for prelates, with God as author and his reign striving together, the peace and unity of the Churches, so long desired throughout these times, may come to pass.

1:1502

qui si uos hortatus fuerit, ut Constantinopolitanum uideatis episcopum, intimate uos praefinita habere, quae etiam ab eis saepe sint cognita: quae ab uniuersis episcopis catholicam communionem amplectentibus professio debeat celebrari. haec si episcopus Constantinopolitamus implere paratus est, ei gratanter occurrimus; si uero sedis apostolicae adhortationem sequi contemnit, quid necesse est, ut ad occasionem contentionis salutatio nostra proficiat, quibus non est disputationis aut certaminis causa <in> mandatis? si uero imperator sibi aperiri uoluerit, quid sit quod ab episcopo fieri postuletis, formam libelli, quam portatis, ostendite.

但倘若他勸勉你們去見君士坦丁堡的主教，就當示意你們已有預先定妥之事，這些事也是他們常已知曉的：即凡擁戴公教共融的眾主教都當舉行何種認信。倘若君士坦丁堡的主教預備成就這些事，我們就樂意迎接他；但倘若他不屑跟從使徒座的勸勉，我們的問候又何必進到爭競的場合呢？既然我們的訓令中並無辯論或爭鬥的緣由。但倘若皇帝願向他闡明你們所要求主教去行之事是什麼，就當出示你們所攜信約的格式。

But if he shall exhort you to see the bishop of Constantinople, intimate that you have things predetermined, which have also often been known to them: what profession ought to be celebrated by all bishops embracing catholic communion. If the bishop of Constantinople is prepared to fulfill these things, we gladly meet him; but if he disdains to follow the exhortation of the Apostolic See, what need is there that our greeting should proceed to an occasion of contention, since there is in our instructions no cause for disputation or contest? But if the Emperor should wish it to be opened to him what it is that you require to be done by the bishop, show the form of the libellus which you carry.

1:1503

quod si de anathemate Acacii consentiens successores eius dixerit recitandos ob hoc, quod propter defensionem Chalcedonensis synodi aliqui eorum fuerint exilio deportati, insinuabitis nihil uos de libelli posse forma decerpere, in qua sequaces damnatorum pariter continentur. sed si eos ab hac non potueritis intentione deflectere, saltem hoc acquiescite, ut anathematizato specialiter per libellum, quem uobis dedimus, Acacio de <suc>cessorum eius nominibus taceatur abrasis eorum de diptychorum inscriptione uocabulis. quo facto episcopum Constantinopolitanum in nostram communionem accipite.

但倘若他同意對阿卡基烏斯的絕罰，卻說必須誦讀其繼任者的名字，理由是他們中有些人為護衛加采東會議而被流放，你們就當示意：你們絕不能從信約的格式中刪減任何內容，因為被定罪者的跟從者同樣包含在其中。但倘若你們不能使他們離開這意圖，至少要應允這一點：即藉我們所給你們的信約特別絕罰阿卡基烏斯，而對其繼任者的名字保持緘默，把他們的名號從雙聯記事板的登記中抹去。此事既成，就把君士坦丁堡的主教接納入我們的共融。

But if, consenting to the anathema of Acacius, he shall say that his successors must be recited, on this ground—that some of them were deported into exile for the defense of the Chalcedonian synod—you shall insinuate that you can detract nothing from the form of the libellus, in which the followers of the condemned are likewise contained. But if you cannot deflect them from this intention, at least acquiesce in this: that, Acacius being specially anathematized by the libellus which we have given you, silence be kept concerning the names of his successors, their appellations being erased from the inscription of the diptychs. This being done, receive the bishop of Constantinople into our communion.

1:1504

libellum uero uel episcopi Constantinopolitani uel aliorum, quos uos suscipere deo uolente contigerit, primo agite, ut praesente populo recitetur. quod si hoc fieri non potuerit, saltem in secretario praesentibus clericis et archimandritis relegatur. I haec omnia si deo fuerint uolente completa, imperatorem rogate, ut destinatis sacris per metropolitanos episcopos adiunctis ipsius episcopi litteris innotescat episcopum Constantinopolitanum suo quoque consensu celebrata professione, quam sedes apostolica destinauit, in unitatem communionis fuisse susceptum. quibus litteris etiam ipsos hortetur similia profiteri.

但無論是君士坦丁堡主教的信約，或是神所願、你們得以接納的其他人的信約，首先要安排在百姓面前誦讀。但倘若此事不能行，至少要在聖器室中、在神職人員與隱修院長們面前宣讀。倘若這一切事既蒙神旨得以完成，就當懇求皇帝：藉都主教們發出聖諭、並附上主教本人的書信，使人得知君士坦丁堡的主教也以其本人的同意，在舉行了使徒座所指定的認信之後，已被接納入共融的合一。並藉這些書信勸勉那些人也認信同樣的事。

But the libellus, whether of the bishop of Constantinople or of others whom, God willing, it may befall you to receive, first arrange that it be recited in the presence of the people. But if this cannot be done, at least let it be read in the sacristy in the presence of the clergy and archimandrites. If all these things shall have been completed, God willing, ask the Emperor that, sacred letters being dispatched through the metropolitan bishops, with the letters of the bishop himself adjoined, it may be made known that the bishop of Constantinople, by his own consent also, the profession which the Apostolic See appointed having been celebrated, has been received into the unity of communion. By which letters let him also exhort those very men to profess like things.

1:1505

quod si in hac parte imperator aliquid difficultatis attulerit, episcopus Constantinopolitanus directis praeceptionibus episcopis suis paroecialibus uel ceteris metropolitanis praesentibus eis, qui a uobis pariter directi fuerint, quid ipse fecerit, innotescat. quod ab eo modis omnibus uos oportet exigere, ut facti huius testimonio peragrante etiam uniuersos, uel qui longe sunt positi, latere non possit. (159.) EXEMPLUM LIBELLI IOHANNIS EPISCOPI CONSTANTINOPOLITANI. DOMINO MEO PER OMNIA SANCTISSIMO ET BEATISSIMO FRATRI ET COMMINISTRATORI HORMISDAE IOHANNES IN DOMINO SALUTEM.

但倘若在這方面皇帝提出任何為難，就讓君士坦丁堡的主教藉發給他堂區主教或其餘都主教的指令，在你們同樣所差之人在場的情形下，讓人得知他本人所行之事。這事你們務必要向他索取，好使藉這事蹟四處傳揚的見證，甚至不能瞞過眾人，或那些身處遠方之人。（一五九）君士坦丁堡主教約翰之信約抄本。致我在萬事上至聖至福的主、弟兄與同工霍爾米斯達，約翰在主內問安。

But if in this part the Emperor should bring any difficulty, let the bishop of Constantinople, by precepts directed to his parochial bishops or to the other metropolitans, in the presence of those who have likewise been directed by you, make known what he himself has done. This you ought by all means to exact from him, that, by the traveling testimony of this deed, it may not be able to be hidden even from all, or from those who are placed far off. (159.) THE COPY OF THE LIBELLUS OF IOHANNES, BISHOP OF CONSTANTINOPLE. TO MY LORD IN ALL THINGS MOST HOLY AND MOST BLESSED BROTHER AND FELLOW-MINISTER HORMISDAS, IOHANNES, GREETING IN THE LORD.

1:1506

Redditis mihi litteris uestrae sanctitatis, in Christo frater karissime, per Gratum clarissimum comitem et nunc per Germanum et Iohannem reuerentissimos episcopos, Felicem et Dioscorum sanctissimos diaconos et Blandum presbyterum laetatus sum de spiritali caritate uestrae sanctitatis, quod unitatem sanctissimarum dei ecclesiarum secundum ueterem patrum requiris traditionem et laceratores rationabilis gregis Christi animo repulsare festinas. certus igitur scito, per omnia sanctissime, quia secundum quod uobis scripsi tua tecum in ueritate sentiens omnes a te repudiatos haereticos renuo et ego pacem diligens.

你聖德的書信既藉至顯貴的伯爵格拉圖、如今又藉至可敬的主教革爾瑪努斯與約翰、至聖潔的執事斐理斯與狄約斯科魯斯、以及司鐸布蘭杜斯遞交予我，我基督裡至親愛的弟兄，我為你聖德屬靈的仁愛而歡喜，因你按教父的古傳追求神至聖眾教會的合一，並存心急切地驅逐那些撕裂基督理性羊群的人。所以，你這在萬事上至聖者，當確知：按我所寫給你的，我在真理中與你同心，我也愛慕平安，棄絕一切為你所擯斥的異端。

The letters of your Holiness having been rendered to me, dearest brother in Christ, through Gratus the most illustrious count, and now through Germanus and Iohannes the most reverend bishops, Felix and Dioscorus the most holy deacons, and Blandus the presbyter, I have rejoiced concerning the spiritual charity of your Holiness, in that you seek the unity of the most holy Churches of God according to the ancient tradition of the Fathers, and hasten with resolve to repel the manglers of the reasonable flock of Christ. Know therefore for certain, O in all things most holy one, that, according to what I have written to you, thinking with you in truth, I too, loving peace, reject all the heretics repudiated by you.

1:1507

sanctissimas enim dei ecclesias, id est superioris uestrae et nouellae istius Romae, unam esse accipio; illam sedem apostoli Petri et istius augustae ciuitatis unam esse definio;

因為神至聖的眾教會，即你們上邦羅馬與這新羅馬的教會，我承認乃是合一的；那使徒伯多祿之座與這尊貴之城之座，我斷定乃是合一的；

For the most holy Churches of God, that is, of your superior Rome and of this new Rome, I accept to be one; that See of the Apostle Peter and of this august city I define to be one;

1:1508

omnibus actis a sanctis istis quattuor synodis, id est Nicaeae Constantinopoli et Ephesi et Chalcedone, de confirmatione fidei et statu ecclesiae adsentio et nihil titubare de bene iudicatis patior sed et conantes aut enisos usque ad unum apicem placita <ea>rum perturbare lapsos esse a sancta dei generali et apostolica ecclesia scio et tuis uerbis recte dictis euidenter utens per praesentia scripta haec dico, quia prima salus est rectae fidei regulam custodire et a patrum traditione nullatenus deuiare, quia non potest domini nostri Iesu Christi praetermitti sententia dicentis: tu es Petrus et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam.

對於這四次聖會議——即尼西亞、君士坦丁堡、以弗所與加采東——所議定關於堅固信德與教會境況的一切，我表贊同，並且對於那些美善的判斷，我不容有絲毫動搖；我也知道，凡企圖或竭力擾亂其決議、甚至僅一點一畫之人，都已從神至聖、普世、使徒的教會墮落。我正當地運用你正確所說的話，藉此書寫如此宣告：首要的救恩乃是持守正信的準則，絕不偏離教父的傳統，因為我們的主耶穌基督的判語不可被略過，祂說：你是伯多祿，我要把我的教會建立在這磐石上。

to all things enacted by these holy four synods, that is, of Nicaea, Constantinople, Ephesus, and Chalcedon, concerning the confirmation of the faith and the state of the Church, I assent, and I suffer nothing to waver concerning things well judged; but I know also that those attempting or striving to disturb their decrees, even to a single tittle, have fallen from the holy, general, and apostolic Church of God. And rightly using your words rightly spoken, through the present writing I say this: that the first salvation is to keep the rule of right faith and in no wise to deviate from the tradition of the Fathers, because the sentence of our Lord Jesus Christ cannot be passed over, saying: Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.

1:1509

haec quae dicta sunt, rerum probantur effectibus, quia in sede apostolica inuiolabilis semper catholica custoditur religio. de hac igitur fide non cadere cupientes et patrum sequentes in omnibus constituta anathematizamus omnes haereses, praecipue Nestorium haereticum, qui quondam Constantinopolitanae urbis fuit episcopus, damnatum in concilio Epheseno a beato Caelestino papa urbis Romae et a uenerabili uiro Cyrillo episcopo Alexandrinae ciuitatis, et una cum illo anathematizamus Eutychen et Dioscorum Alexandrinae ciuitatis episcopum damnatos in sancta synodo Chalcedonensi, quam uenerantes sequimur et amplectimur, quae sequens sanctam synodum Nicaenam apostolicam fidem praedicauit.

這些所說之事，藉事實的果效得證，因在使徒座中，公教信仰始終被無玷污地保守。所以，我們既願不從這信德墮落，並在萬事上跟從教父的規定，就絕罰一切異端，尤其是異端者聶斯多留——他曾任君士坦丁堡城的主教，在以弗所會議中被羅馬城的蒙福教宗策肋斯定及可敬之人亞歷山大城的主教濟利祿所定罪；並連同他，我們絕罰歐迪克與亞歷山大城的主教狄約斯科魯斯——他們在加采東聖會議中被定罪，而我們敬崇、跟從並擁戴那會議，它跟從尼西亞聖會議宣講了使徒的信仰。

These things which have been said are proved by the effects of the facts, because in the Apostolic See the catholic religion is always preserved inviolable. Desiring therefore not to fall from this faith, and following in all things the ordinances of the Fathers, we anathematize all heresies, especially Nestorius the heretic, who was once bishop of the city of Constantinople, condemned in the Council of Ephesus by the blessed Caelestinus, pope of the city of Rome, and by the venerable man Cyril, bishop of the city of Alexandria; and together with him we anathematize Eutyches and Dioscorus, bishop of the city of Alexandria, condemned in the holy Synod of Chalcedon, which, venerating, we follow and embrace, which, following the holy Synod of Nicaea, preached the apostolic faith.

1:1510

his coniungentes Timotheum parricidam Elurum cognominatum anathematizamus et huius discipulum et sequacem in omnibus Petrum Alexandrinum similiter condemnantes, anathematizamus similiter Acacium quondam Constantinopolitanae urbis episcopum complicem eorum et sequacem factum nec non et perseuerantes eorum communioni et participationi: quorum enim quis eorum communionem amplectitur, eorum et similem adiudicationem in condemnatione consequitur. simili modo et Petrum Antiochenum condemnantes anathematizamus cum sequacibus suis et omnibus supra scriptis. unde probamus et amplectimur epistolas omnes beati Leonis papae urbis Romae, quas conscripsit de recta fide.

我們把弒親者、綽號埃盧魯斯的提摩太加入這些人之列而絕罰；並同樣定他的門徒、在萬事上跟從他的亞歷山大人伯多祿的罪，我們照樣絕罰阿卡基烏斯——他曾任君士坦丁堡城的主教，作了他們的同謀與跟從者——也絕罰那些堅持與他們共融相通之人：因為凡擁戴他們中任何人共融之人，便在定罪中招致與他們相同的判決。我們照樣也定安提阿的伯多祿的罪，連同他的跟從者及一切上述之人一同絕罰。為此，我們讚許並擁戴羅馬城蒙福教宗良所著關於正信的一切書信。

Joining to these Timothy the parricide, surnamed Elurus, we anathematize; and likewise condemning his disciple and follower in all things, Peter of Alexandria, we in like manner anathematize Acacius, once bishop of the city of Constantinople, who became their accomplice and follower, as also those persevering in their communion and participation: for whoever embraces the communion of any of them, incurs a like judgment with them in condemnation. In like manner, condemning Peter of Antioch also, we anathematize him with his followers and all the aforementioned. Whence we approve and embrace all the epistles of the blessed Leo, pope of the city of Rome, which he wrote concerning the right faith.

1:1511

quapropter, sicut praediximus, sequentes in omnibus sedem apostolicam et praedicamus omnia, quae ab ipsa decreta sunt, et propterea spero in una communione uobiscum, quam apostolica sedes praedicat, me futurum, in qua est integra Christianae religionis et perfecta soliditas, promittens in sequenti tempore sequestratos a communione ecclesiae catholicae, id est in omnibus non consentientes sedi apostolicae, eorum nomina inter sacra non recitanda esse mysteria. quod si in aliquo a professione mea deuiare temptauero, his quos condemnaui et per condemnationem propriam consortem me esse profiteor.

因此，正如我們先前所說，在萬事上跟從使徒座，我們既宣講一切為它所議定之事，我便因此盼望將來與你們同在一個共融中——這共融乃是使徒座所宣講的，其中有基督信仰完全而完美的堅固；並應許在將來，凡從公教會共融中被隔絕之人——即那些不在萬事上贊同使徒座之人——他們的名字不當在神聖奧秘中被誦讀。但倘若我在任何事上企圖偏離我的認信，我便藉我自己的定罪，承認自己與我所定罪之人同夥。

Wherefore, as we have said before, following in all things the Apostolic See, we both preach all things which have been decreed by it, and therefore I hope to be in the future in one communion with you, which the Apostolic See preaches, in which is the whole and perfect solidity of the Christian religion; promising in the time to come that the names of those sequestered from the communion of the catholic Church—that is, of those not consenting in all things to the Apostolic See—are not to be recited among the sacred mysteries. But if in anything I shall attempt to deviate from my profession, I profess myself, by my own condemnation, to be a partner with those whom I have condemned.

1:1512

To this profession I have subscribed with my own hand, and I have directed it in reply to you, Hormisdas, holy and most blessed brother and pope of great Rome, through the aforewritten Germanus and Iohannes, venerable bishops, and Felix and Dioscorus, deacons, and Blandus the presbyter. AND IN ANOTHER HAND: I, Iohannes, by the mercy of God bishop of the new Rome, Constantinople, consenting by this my profession to all the aforesaid, have subscribed, sound in the Lord. Pray for us, most holy and most blessed brother.

UICTOR IUSTINUS PIUS FELIX INCLITUS TRIUMPHATOR SEMPER AUGUSTUS HORMISDAE SANCTISSIMO AC BEATISSIMO ARCHIEPISCOPO ET PATRIARCHAE. Scias effectum nobis, pater religiosissime, quod diu summis studiis quaerebatur; noueris patefactum et antequam aduenerint, qui a uobis destinati sunt, quod Iohannes uir beatissimus antistes nouae Romae nostrae una cum clero eius uobiscum sentiunt nullis uariantes ambiguitatibus, nullis diuisi discordiis; scias libellum ab eo subscriptum, quem offerendum iudicaueras sanctissimorum patrum concilio congruentem. omnes concurrunt alacri opere ad suscipienda uota tam uestrae quam Constantinopolitanae sedis, quos ueritatis coruscus fulgor illuminat;

得勝者猶斯提努斯，虔敬、幸運、赫赫有名的凱旋者、永遠的奧古斯都，致至聖至福的總主教兼宗主教霍爾米斯達。至虔敬的父，當知那長久以極大熱忱所尋求之事，已為我們成就；當知它已顯明——甚至在你所差之人抵達之前——即至福之人、我們新羅馬的主教約翰，連同他的神職人員，都與你同心，不因任何含糊而有異，不因任何紛爭而分裂；當知他所簽署、你曾判斷當呈上的信約，與至聖眾教父的會議相合。眾人都以熱切的努力急速前來承接你的座與君士坦丁堡之座的心願，真理閃耀的光輝照亮他們；

VICTOR IUSTINUS, PIOUS, FORTUNATE, RENOWNED TRIUMPHER, EVER AUGUSTUS, TO HORMISDAS, MOST HOLY AND MOST BLESSED ARCHBISHOP AND PATRIARCH. Know, most religious father, that what was long sought with the utmost zeal has been effected for us; know that it has been made manifest, even before those who have been directed by you have arrived, that Iohannes, the most blessed man, prelate of our new Rome, together with his clergy, thinks with you, varying by no ambiguities, divided by no discords; know that the libellus subscribed by him, which you had judged should be offered, is congruent with the council of the most holy Fathers. All hasten with eager work to take up the vows both of your See and of that of Constantinople, whom the flashing splendor of truth illuminates;

1:1514

omnes accelerant libentissime, quos oblectat uia dilucida, sequuntur scita patrum sanctissima, leges probatissimas, et consiliis quorundam firmatis, qui rectum tenebant tramitem, aliorum correctis, qui uagabantur incerti, in eo res colligitur, ut unitatem indiuiduae trinitatis ipsi quoque unitate colant mentium. negatum est inter diuina mysteria memoriam in posterum fieri pro tenore libelli, quem diximus, Acacii praeuaricatoris quondam regiae huius urbis episcopi nec non et aliorum sacerdotum, qui uel primi contra constituta uenerunt apostolica uel successores erroris facti sunt nulla usque ad ultimum diem suum paenitentia correcti.

凡以那清晰之路為樂的，都極其甘心地急速前行；他們跟從眾教父至聖的決議、至為蒙認可的法度；並且，那些持守正道之人的意見既被堅立，那些游移不定、彷徨的人既被改正，此事便歸結於此：即他們也當以心思的合一敬奉那不可分的三位一體的合一。已然否定的是：將來在神聖奧秘中，按我們所提及的信約之內容，不當再紀念阿卡基烏斯——這曾任這王城主教的背信者——以及其他司祭，就是那些或最先違背使徒規定、或成了此錯謬繼承者、直到臨終之日毫無悔改而得改正之人。

all most willingly make haste, whom the clear way delights; they follow the most holy decrees of the Fathers, the most approved laws; and, the counsels of certain men being confirmed who held the right path, and others corrected who wandered uncertain, the matter is gathered to this: that they too may worship the unity of the undivided Trinity by a unity of minds. It has been denied that memory should be made in the future, among the divine mysteries, according to the tenor of the libellus which we have mentioned, of Acacius, the sometime prevaricator, bishop of this royal city, and also of other priests who either first came against the apostolic ordinances or became successors of the error, corrected by no penitence up to their last day.

1:1515

et quoniam omnes nostrae regiones admonendae sunt, ut exemplum imitentur ciuitatis regiae, destinanda ubique principalia praecepta duximus: tanto flagramus religionis officio, tanto affectamus studio pacem catholicae fidei pro remuneranda caelitus pace nostrae rei publicae, pro conciliando subiectis meis superno praesidio. quid enim gratius reperiri potest, quid iustius, quid illustrius, quam quos idem regnum continet eiusdemque fidei cultus irradiat, eos non diuersa contendere sed collectis in eodem sensibus instituta uenerari non humana mente lata sed diuini prudentia spiritus?

既然我們全境都當受勸勉去效法王城的榜樣，我們就判斷當把主要的敕令頒行各處：我們以如此大的信仰熱忱燃燒，以如此大的關切追求公教信仰的平安，為要使我們邦國得從天上償賜平安，為要為我治下的臣民贏得上天的護庇。因為還有什麼比這更令人喜悅、更公義、更輝煌的呢？即凡同一王國所包含、同一信仰之敬拜所照耀之人，不當以各樣紛歧相爭，乃當以聚合於同一意念的心思，敬奉那些並非出於人的心思、乃出於神聖之靈之睿智所產生的規定。

And since all our regions are to be admonished to imitate the example of the royal city, we have judged that principal precepts should be sent everywhere: with so great a zeal of religion do we burn, with so great a care do we strive after the peace of the catholic faith, for the sake of the peace of our commonwealth to be recompensed from heaven, for the sake of the supernal protection to be reconciled to my subjects. For what more pleasing can be found, what more just, what more illustrious, than that those whom the same realm contains and whom the worship of the same faith irradiates, should not contend in diverse ways, but, with their minds gathered into the same purpose, should venerate ordinances brought forth not by a human mind, but by the prudence of the divine Spirit?

1:1516

oret igitur uestrae religionis sanctitas, ut quod peruigili studio pro concordia ecclesiarum catholicae fidei procuratur, diuini muneris opitulatio iugi perpetuitate seruari annuat. Dat. X. Kal.

所以，願你信仰的聖德祈禱，使那以恆常警醒的熱忱為公教信仰眾教會和睦所謀求之事，能藉神聖恩賜的助佑蒙准永久持續地得以保守。發於五月朔日前第十日，於君士坦丁堡。（一六一）君士坦丁堡主教約翰之呈報抄本。致我在萬事上聖潔、蒙神所愛的主、弟兄與同工霍爾米斯達，約翰在主內問安。當神在祂子民身上施行祂自己的奇事時，那時就當以聖經本身的話語滿懷信心地宣揚神聖經典中所載之事：誰能述說主的大能，或在一切時候使人聽見祂一切的讚美呢？

Let therefore the holiness of your religion pray, that what by ever-watchful zeal is procured for the concord of the Churches of the catholic faith, the succor of the divine gift may grant to be preserved in perpetual continuance. Given on the tenth day before the Kalends of May, at Constantinople. (161.) THE COPY OF THE REPORT OF IOHANNES, BISHOP OF CONSTANTINOPLE. TO MY LORD IN ALL THINGS HOLY AND BELOVED OF GOD, BROTHER AND FELLOW-MINISTER HORMISDAS, IOHANNES, GREETING IN THE LORD. When God works His own wonders in His people, then it is fitting to proclaim confidently, with the very voices of Scripture, those things which are contained in the divine writings: Who shall speak the mighty acts of the Lord, or make heard all His praises at all times?

1:1517

ecce enim talem pium principem Romanae rei publicae suscitauit, quali multo ante et catholica indigebat ecclesia et omne genus hominum uidere cupiebat, ideoque ita etiam cornu gratiae super eum caelitus declinauit, ut affluenter in sacrum eius caput misericordia funderetur, omnesque annuntiationis eius tempore cum magna uoce deum omnium principem glorificauerunt, quoniam talem uerticem meis manibus tali corona decorauit. is ergo maximus imperator primam suorum certaminum palmam deuicto inimico euidenter ostendit; secundum uirtutis eius meritum: adunationem sanctissimis ecclesiis sapientissime comparauit; regni eius tertium bonum: dissipata coniunxit et pacem mundi sapientissime procurauit.

因為看哪，祂為羅馬邦國興起了這樣一位虔敬的君主，正是公教會早已需要、各類人都渴望看見的；因此祂也如此從天上把恩典之角傾注於他，使憐憫豐豐富富地澆灌在他聖潔的頭上，眾人在他即位宣告之時都大聲榮耀萬有之君神，因祂藉我的手以這樣的冠冕妝點了這樣一位至尊者。所以，這位至偉大的皇帝清楚彰顯了他爭戰的頭一個勝利之棕枝，就是仇敵被征服；第二個乃按他德行的功勞：他至智慧地為至聖眾教會謀成了合一；他統治的第三樣善事：他把離散之物聯合起來，並至智慧地謀成了世界的平安。

For behold, He has raised up for the Roman commonwealth such a pious Prince as both the catholic Church long before had need of and every kind of men longed to see; and therefore He so also inclined the horn of grace from heaven upon him, that mercy was abundantly poured out upon his sacred head, and all, at the time of his proclamation, with a great voice glorified God, the Prince of all, because He adorned such a summit with my hands with such a crown. This greatest Emperor, therefore, clearly displayed the first palm of his contests by the enemy being vanquished; the second by the merit of his virtue: he most wisely procured union for the most holy Churches; the third good of his reign: he joined together things dissipated and most wisely procured the peace of the world.

1:1518

idcirco in omnibus deo magno gratiam referens cuncta sapientissime gubernanti annuntiare tibi pacem pacis filio non cunctaui, in omnibus deo amantissime, ut illud gaudium salias, quo Dauid quidem secundum legem in arcae dei reuocatione figuraliter exultabat, apostoli uero per gratiam ueraciter laetabantur. gaude itaque in domino gaudium tuae conueniens sanctitati et scribe ea, quae uestrum benignum animum decent, homo dei! nam, quae fuerant diuisa, coniuncta sunt et dispersa collecta sunt et.

所以，我在萬事上向那至智慧治理萬有的偉大之神獻上感恩，就毫不遲延地向你——平安之子、在萬事上蒙神至愛者——宣告平安，好使你以那喜樂歡躍，就是達味按律法在神的約櫃被召回時所預表地歡騰的、而使徒們藉恩典所真實歡欣的喜樂。所以，神的人哪，當在主內以相稱於你聖德的喜樂歡欣，並寫下相稱於你仁厚心思之事！因為那曾被分裂之物已聯合了，那曾離散之物已被聚集了。

Therefore, in all things rendering thanks to the great God who governs all things most wisely, I did not hesitate to announce peace to you, son of peace, in all things most beloved of God, so that you may leap with that joy with which David, indeed, according to the Law, figuratively exulted at the recall of the ark of God, but the Apostles, through grace, truly rejoiced. Rejoice therefore in the Lord with a joy befitting your Holiness, and write those things which become your kindly mind, O man of God! For the things which had been divided are joined together, and the things dispersed are gathered.

1:1519

quae longe erant, sibi inuicem adunata sunt et, sicut oportet dicere et olim scripsi, utrasque ecclesias tam senioris quam nouae Romae unam esse euidenter intellegens et utriusque earum unam sedem recte esse definiens indiuisibilem adunationem et utriusque nostrum consonam confirmationem cum iudicii integritate cognosco. unde rogo deum semper eam inseparabilem permanere orationibus sanctorum apostolorum et tuae precibus sanctitatis, per quas donari nobis et uniuerso mundo clementissimum et Christianissimum principem Iustinum et piissimam eius coniugem, nostram autem filiam, Eufimiam in pace multis temporibus comprecatur, per omnia beatissime et karissime frater.

曾經彼此遠離的，如今已合而為一；正如理當說的、也如我早先所寫的，我清楚體認到兩個教會——無論是年長的羅馬還是新羅馬——原是一個；並正確地界定二者同有一個不可分割的座席，且我們雙方有和諧一致的確認，我懷著判斷的完整而承認此事。因此我祈求上帝，藉著眾聖使徒的禱告和您聖德的祈求，願它永遠保持不可分離；藉此祈求也懇求：願賜給我們並賜給普世那位至仁慈、至基督化的君王猶斯定，以及他至虔敬的配偶——卻是我們女兒的——猶菲米亞，在平安中長享許多歲月，我在一切事上至有福、至親愛的弟兄。

Things that were far apart have been united to one another; and, as it is fitting to say and as I wrote long ago, I clearly perceive that both Churches, that of the elder as well as that of the new Rome, are one, and rightly defining that of both of them there is one indivisible See and a harmonious confirmation of us both, I acknowledge it together with the integrity of my judgment. Wherefore I pray God that it may ever remain inseparable, through the prayers of the holy apostles and through the supplications of your holiness; through which he beseeches that there be granted to us and to the whole world the most merciful and most Christian prince Justin and his most pious consort—but our daughter—Euphemia, in peace for many seasons, most blessed and most beloved brother in all things.

1:1520

Rejoicing therefore at the presence of your most reverend bishops and also of your clerics, we give thanks, since according to our request you have sent such peaceable men, worthy of your apostolic See, who keep the rule of the Fathers without confusion and guard the faith undivided. Embracing their mind in all things, we have transacted everything through them to the satisfaction of your holiness.

Uenerandae sanctitatis uestrae praedicatio regularum, quae Christo deo pro ecclesiarum pace et pro plebis concordia iugiter supplicat, quicquid nunc per beatissimos suos sacerdotes annuit pera. gendum, propitia diuinitate cuncta effectui sociata sunt nulla prorsus quorundam ualente discordia. igitur uestris sacris orationibus ac praeceptionibus orthodoxorum fide muniti supplices petimus, uti pro sanctissimo Augusto nostro, totius fidei fautore, proque eius re publica, pro nobis quoque mandatorum uestrorum custodibus aeterno regi consueti impetrabiles preces offerre dignemini nosque uobis fideliter supplices uestris salutiferis rescriptionibus uisitare.

您可敬聖德所宣告的規範，不斷地為眾教會的平安、為民眾的和睦向基督我們的上帝祈求；如今凡它藉其至有福的司鐸所允准施行的，靠著恩慈的神性，一切都已與其果效相連，全然沒有任何人的紛爭得以攔阻。因此，我們既因您神聖的禱告、又因正統信仰者的訓誨得著堅固，就懇切請求：願您照常樂意為我們至聖的奧古斯都、整個信仰的護持者，並為他的國度，也為我們這些守護您命令的人，向永恆的君王獻上必蒙垂聽的祈禱；並以您帶來救恩的回諭眷顧我們這些忠誠向您祈求的人。（一六三）龐培書信抄本。

Therefore, fortified by your sacred prayers and by the injunctions of the orthodox in the faith, we as suppliants ask that you may deign to offer, as is your wont, prevailing prayers to the eternal King on behalf of our most holy Augustus, the patron of the whole faith, and on behalf of his commonwealth, and on behalf of us also, the keepers of your commands; and that you visit us, faithfully your suppliants, with your saving rescripts.

致我至有福、具使徒尊榮的主人與父親、普世教會的總主教霍爾米斯達，龐培敬上。全能上帝的憐憫，因您有福者神聖的禱告而受懇求，已俯允賜給我們一位如此篤信的君王，以致藉著他仁慈那至虔敬的功德，教會平安的恢復——這是眾信徒以禱告所祈求的——理應被視為已賜下。在成就此事之際，他藉聖靈的運行，為其治權奠定了最穩固的根基；這根基所擁有不可戰勝之穩定的力量，正如其行動之卓越被評為獨一而可欽佩那般宏大。

TO MY MOST BLESSED AND APOSTOLIC LORD AND FATHER HORMISDAS, ARCHBISHOP OF THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH, POMPEIUS. The mercy of almighty God, entreated by the holy prayers of your beatitude, has deigned to grant us a prince of so great a faith, that by the most religious merits of his clemency the restoration of ecclesiastical peace, which was sought by the prayers of all the faithful, is rightly seen to have been bestowed. In the accomplishment of this matter he has, by the working of the Holy Spirit, established the most solid foundations of his principate, which possess as great a strength of unconquered stability as the excellence of the action is judged to be singular and admirable.

因此，我們以彼此致意的敬禮向您教宗之尊、可敬的有福者問安，並懇求您愈發樂意為我們至仁慈、至無敵的君王之興盛祈禱，好使那不可言喻之全能上帝的憐憫，藉公義恩典的扶助，看守他自己的恩賜——其中也豐盛結出您耕耘的果子；也願您教宗聖德那扶助性的代求，臨於我們這些您的兒子、以屬靈之愛與您相結、且素來最為此工的掛慮所約束的人身上。（一六四）安尼奇亞·猶莉安納書信抄本。致至有福的主人與父親霍爾米斯達，猶莉安納·安尼奇亞敬上。

And therefore, greeting the reverend beatitude of your pontificate with the homage of a reciprocal address, we beseech you that you would more and more deign to pray for the prosperity of our most merciful and most invincible lord the prince, that the pity of the ineffable almighty God may guard his own gifts—among which the fruit of your husbandry too abounds—by the aid of a righteous grace; and that to us also, your sons, bound to you by a spiritual affection, whom the solicitude of this work has always most greatly constrained, the assisting intercession of your pontifical sanctity may stand at hand. (164.) COPY OF THE LETTER OF ANICIA JULIANA. TO THE MOST BLESSED LORD AND FATHER HORMISDAS, JULIANA ANICIA.

1:1524

Precibus uestrae beatitudinis aduentu legatorum principalis sedis apostolicae elisis erroribus haereticorum unitate fidei catholicae conuenimus, congr〈eg〉ati simul ad ubera materna ecclesiae in die sanctae resurrectionis. quapropter stilo uenerationis alloquentes sanctitatem uestram admonemus, ut intimetis destinatis a uobis reuerentissimis uiris nullo modo abscedere, antequam, sicut peruideritis, ut oportet, firmentur ea, quae bene disposita sunt ab eis, ut amputatis omnibus reliquiis transiti erroris impendiis uestrae beatitudinis roborata unitas ad effectum perpetuum deducatur. (165.) EXEMPLUM EPISTOLAE ANASTASIAE.

藉著您有福者的禱告，在首要使徒座席的使節到來之際，眾異端的謬誤被粉碎，我們就在大公信仰的合一中聚集，同時在聖復活之日聚攏到教會母親的懷抱。因此，我們以敬崇之筆向您聖德致意，勸勉您囑咐您所差來至可敬的人，切莫離去，直到您所察為合宜的、由他們妥善安排的事得以堅立；好使那已過謬誤的一切殘餘都被剪除，您有福者所堅固的合一得以達致永久的果效。（一六五）阿納斯塔西婭書信抄本。

By the prayers of your beatitude, at the coming of the legates of the chief apostolic See, the errors of the heretics being shattered, we have come together in the unity of the catholic faith, gathered at once to the maternal breasts of the Church on the day of the holy Resurrection. Wherefore, addressing your holiness with the pen of veneration, we admonish you that you charge the most reverend men sent by you by no means to depart until, as you shall perceive to be fitting, those things be made firm which have been well arranged by them; so that, all the remnants of the by-gone error being cut off at your expense, the strengthened unity of your beatitude may be brought to a perpetual effect. (165.) COPY OF THE LETTER OF ANASTASIA.

1:1525

DOMINO SANCTO ET BEATISSIMO PATRI PATRUM HORMISDAE ARCHIEPISCOPO UNIUERSALI ECCLESIAE ANASTASIA. Diuini muneris illuxisse nobis gratiam merito profitemur, apostolatus uestri reuerentiam in sancto corde nostri tenere memoriam paginali adsertione noscentes; ueraci namque spe confiditur supernae misericordiae propitiationem de pontificali intercessione subsistere, domine beatissime et apostolico honore suscipiende pater.

致聖潔、至有福的主人、列父之父、普世教會的總主教霍爾米斯達，阿納斯塔西婭敬上。我們理當承認神聖恩賜的恩典已照耀我們，因為藉這封信的陳述，我們曉得自己在聖潔的心中持守著對您使徒職分之敬崇的記念；因為藉著真實的盼望，我們深信上天憐憫的挽回乃是出自您教宗的代求而存立，至有福的主人、當以使徒尊榮領受的父親。

TO THE HOLY AND MOST BLESSED LORD, FATHER OF FATHERS, HORMISDAS, ARCHBISHOP OF THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH, ANASTASIA. We rightly confess that the grace of the divine gift has shone upon us, knowing—by the assertion of this page—that we hold in our holy heart the memory of the reverence of your apostleship; for by a truthful hope it is trusted that the propitiation of the heavenly mercy subsists from your pontifical intercession, O most blessed lord and father to be received with apostolic honour.

1:1526

peruigiles uestrarum orationum excubiae et miranda uictoriosissimi principis fides splendore catholico semper irradians diu expetitam sacrosanctis ecclesiis concordiam pacis restituit, quam omnibus triumphis suis solidissime firmatis inuictum iure exultat praetulisse uexillum, ideoque illibata uestrae paternitatis sanctimonia pro incolomitate atque prosperitate praedicti domni nostri Augusti uota precesque omnipotenti deo offerre indesinenti continuatione persistat, ut ineffabilem tantorum bonorum gratiam, quam ipse piis eius sensibus inspirauit, ad futurae quoque beatitudinis profectum conseruare dignetur.

您禱告那時刻警醒的守望，以及我們至得勝之君王那可驚嘆、常以大公榮光煥發的信德，已將久已渴慕的平安和睦歸還給至神聖的眾教會；當他一切的凱旋都最穩固地確立之時，他理應歡欣，因為他將此和睦當作不可戰勝的旗幟而看重。因此，願您父德那無瑕的聖潔以不止息的持守，為我們前述之主奧古斯都的平安與興盛，向全能上帝獻上心願與祈禱，好使他俯允保守那諸般至大美善之不可言喻的恩典——就是他親自感動了君王虔敬心思的那恩典——直至將來之福樂的增長。

The ever-watchful vigils of your prayers and the wondrous faith of our most victorious prince, ever radiant with catholic splendour, have restored to the most sacred Churches the long-sought concord of peace; which, when all his triumphs were most firmly established, he rightly exults to have preferred as an unconquered standard. And therefore let the unblemished sanctity of your paternity persist with unceasing continuance to offer to almighty God vows and prayers for the safety and prosperity of our aforesaid lord Augustus, that he may deign to preserve the ineffable grace of so great goods—which he himself inspired into the prince's pious senses—unto the increase of the beatitude that is to come as well.

1:1527

domno etiam lugali filio uestro et mihi peculiari cultrici uestrae cum subole, quam nobis dominus donare dignatus est, a uestro pontificatu oratio benigniter impendatur, cuius suffl\'ag<at)ione diuini fauoris protectio nobis clementer adspiret. (166.) EXEMPLUM (EPISTOLAE) THEODORITI EPISCOPI LIGNIDENSIS. DOMINO SANCTO BEATO PRAEDICABILI ET ADORANDO APOSTOLICO PATRI HORMISDAE PAPAE URBIS ROMAE HUMILIS FAMULUS TUUS THEODORITUS. Meae quidem exiguitatis non esset tam magna praesumere et ad uestrum pium et sanctum apostolatum pusilli sermone praesentes paruulas destinare paginas.

願您的教宗職分也仁慈地為我那作丈夫的主人、您的兒子，並為我這特屬您的婢女，連同主俯允賜給我們的兒女，賜下禱告；好使藉此代求，神聖恩眷的護佑仁慈地眷顧我們。（一六六）呂赫尼度斯主教特奧多里圖斯書信抄本。致聖潔、有福、堪頌、當敬的使徒之主與父親、羅馬城的教宗霍爾米斯達，您卑微的僕人特奧多里圖斯敬上。以我這微小之人，實在不配僭妄如此大事，也不配用渺小者的言語向您虔敬聖潔的使徒職分呈上這幾頁微末的信箋。

Let a prayer also be graciously bestowed by your pontificate upon my wedded lord, your son, and upon me, your particular handmaid, together with the offspring which the Lord has deigned to grant us; that by its intercession the protection of divine favour may mercifully breathe upon us. (166.) COPY (OF THE LETTER) OF THEODORITUS, BISHOP OF LYCHNIDUS. TO THE HOLY, BLESSED, LAUDABLE, AND ADORABLE APOSTOLIC LORD AND FATHER HORMISDAS, POPE OF THE CITY OF ROME, YOUR HUMBLE SERVANT THEODORITUS. It would indeed not befit my littleness to presume things so great, and to send these present little pages, by the speech of a tiny man, to your pious and holy apostleship.

1:1528

sed quia pro insita uobis humanitate, pio propitiationis animo omnia nutu diuinitatis protegere constituti, lucidum diem et totius festiuitatis repletum omni reddidistis mundo et omnia uestris praedicandis precibus ad pristinum unitatis reuocastis statum et in unum concordare uel subiugare uestris praedicabilibus et adorandis meritis annuistis:

但因著上帝植於您裡面的仁愛——您既受任以虔敬懷挽回的心意，藉神性的示意來護佑萬事——您就將明亮、滿有一切歡慶的日子歸還給全世界，並藉您可頌的禱告把萬事召回從前合一的狀態，也藉您可讚、可敬的功德使它們得以和諧、同伏於一軛之下：

But because, in accordance with the humanity implanted in you—being appointed with a pious mind of propitiation to protect all things by the nod of the Godhead—you have rendered to the whole world a bright day, filled with all festivity, and by your praiseworthy prayers have recalled all things to the former state of unity, and by your laudable and adorable merits have granted them to be in concord and to be brought under one yoke:

1:1529

ideoque, etsi meis obrutus iniquitatibus et ab eis undique oppressus, ex ipsis recreatus infernis recurrente ad gloriosa uestigia uestra confamulo meo uiro religioso Pullione usurpaui me tam per eum quam etiam his paruulis et exiguis uestris praedicandis et adorandis repraesentare uestigiis, diuinum omnibus uiribus exorans fauorem et clara uoce cum omnibus omnino cantans:

因此，我雖被自己的罪孽所淹沒、四面被其壓制，卻從那地獄的深處得蒙復甦；當我的同工、那位篤信的僕人普利歐急速返回您榮耀的足前之際，我便僭越地藉著他，也藉這微小淺薄的信箋，把自己呈於您可讚、可敬的足前，竭盡全力懇求神聖的恩眷，並與所有一切人一同高聲歌唱：

and therefore, although overwhelmed by my own iniquities and pressed down by them on every side, being restored out of those very depths of hell, when my fellow-servant, the religious man Pullio, was hastening back to your glorious footsteps, I took upon myself to present myself to your praiseworthy and adorable footsteps both through him and also by these little and slender pages, imploring with all my strength the divine favour, and singing with a clear voice together with all men whatsoever:

1:1530

gloria inexcelsis deo etin terra pax et in hominibus bonae uoluntatis, qui pro sua incomprehensibili pietate uestris mirificis precibus omnia illuminauit et liberauit et lucidum et totius festiuitatis repletum diem in toto orbe uestris deo dignis precibus praestitit et ab omni iniquitate exiguit et omnem nodum colligationis absoluit et omnem semitam aperuit. hanc itaque gratulationis repletam pio uestro precem offerens apostolatui deprecor, uti pro meae flebilitatis exiguitate uestris piis precibus memores esse dignemini, domini sancti beati apostolici patres. Accepta XIII. Kal. Iul. per <Pullionem> Eutharico cons. (167.) SUGGESTIO DIOSCORI DIACONI. PER PULLIONEM SUBDIACONUM.

「在至高之處榮耀歸於上帝，在地上平安歸於他所喜悅的人」——他以其不可測度的憐憫，藉您奇妙的禱告照亮並拯救了萬事，又藉您配得上帝的禱告，賜給全世界一個明亮、滿有一切歡慶的日子，並驅逐了一切不義，鬆開了一切捆綁的結，開通了一切道路。因此我把這滿有感恩的禱告獻給您虔敬的使徒職分，懇求您以您虔敬的禱告，樂意記念我可悲的微賤，聖潔、有福、具使徒尊榮的眾主與眾父啊。於七月朔前第十三日，藉普利歐收訖，猶塔里庫斯執政年。（一六七）執事狄奧斯科魯斯的報告。藉副執事普利歐。

'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, and among men of good will,' who, in his incomprehensible pity, has by your marvellous prayers illumined and delivered all things, and by your prayers worthy of God has bestowed on the whole world a bright day filled with all festivity, and has driven out all iniquity, and loosed every knot of binding, and opened every path. This prayer, therefore, full of thanksgiving, I offer to your pious apostleship, beseeching that you would deign to be mindful, by your pious prayers, of the littleness of my lamentable state, O holy, blessed, apostolic lords and fathers. Received on the 13th day before the Kalends of July, through Pullio, in the consulship of Eutharicus. (167.) THE REPORT OF DIOSCORUS THE DEACON. THROUGH PULLIO THE SUBDEACON.

1:1531

Ineffabilis dei omnipotentis misericordia et pietas eius, quam super humanum genus clementer effundit, humanis uiribus aestimari non potest nec sermonibus explicari, sed sufficit eius tantum mirabilia deuotis sensibus admirari et scire omnia bona de eius tantum gratiae pendere remediis. est ista cottidiana probatio; audacter tamen praesumo dicere, domine meus beatissime papa, quia praesens causa praeterita cuncta transcendit, quam deus uestris temporibus et meritis reseruauit. quid in Aulona sit actum, quid Scampis, quid Lignido . fuerit secutum, anteriore significatione suggessi. ad Thessalonicam peruenimus.

全能上帝那不可言喻的憐憫，以及他仁慈傾注於人類的慈愛，非人的能力所能估量，也非言語所能鋪陳；然而，只要以虔敬的心思欽佩他的奇事，並曉得一切美善全然繫於他恩典的良藥，就足夠了。這是每日可見的明證；然而，我至有福的主人、教宗啊，我大膽僭言：眼前這件事超越以往的一切——這是上帝為您的時代與功德所保留的。在奧倫發生了什麼、在斯坎培發生了什麼、在呂赫尼度斯隨後有何事，我已在先前的通報中呈報。我們抵達了帖撒羅尼迦。

The ineffable mercy of almighty God and his pity, which he mercifully pours forth upon the human race, cannot be measured by human powers nor unfolded in words; but it is enough only to admire his wonders with devout senses and to know that all good things depend solely upon the remedies of his grace. This is a daily proof; yet I boldly presume to say, my most blessed lord Pope, that the present cause surpasses all past things—the cause which God has reserved for your times and merits. What was done at Aulon, what at Scampae, what followed at Lychnidus, I reported in a previous notice. We arrived at Thessalonica.
