183:1
Gregorius a Arsicino duci, clero, ordini et plebi b Ariminensis civitatis. Dilectionis vestrae quam sit in exspectatione pontificis prona devotio, directae relationis textus insinuat. Sed quia ordinatorem vehementer in bis oportet esse sollicilunl, nostræ in hoc utique cura dcJiberationis invigilat. Ideoque charitatem vestram scripns praesentibus admonemus, ut nullus se debeat pro Ocleatini ad nos fatigare persona; sed si in eadem civitate qui ad hoc sit utilis invenitur, ita ut a nobis reprehendi non possit, vestra concurrat electio. Si vero ad hoc dignus inventus uon ruerit, nos in quo pariter debeatis præbere co ensum, præsentium dilimus portitori.
額我略致阿里米農城的公爵阿爾西西努斯、聖職團、教職次序及全體民眾。寄來給我們報告的內容表明，你們的仁愛在期盼主教一事上何等虔誠殷切。但因立定主教者須極其審慎，我們對此事的關切也在斟酌中警醒守望。故我們藉本函勸勉你們的仁愛：無人當為奧克萊提努斯其人費力來見我們；然而，倘若在該城中找到適於此職、我們無可指摘之人，就讓你們的選舉歸向他。但若找不到堪任此職者，我們已把你們同樣應予同意之人託付予本函持信人。
Gregory to Arsicinus the duke, to the clergy, the order, and the people of the city of Ariminum. The text of the report sent to us makes plain how ready is the devotion of your Charity in expectation of a bishop. But since one must be most careful in ordaining a bishop, our watchful care in this matter keeps vigil in deliberation. Therefore by these present writings we admonish your Charity that no one should trouble himself to come to us on behalf of the person of Ocleatinus; but if in that same city someone is found suited to this office, such that he cannot be censured by us, let your election concur upon him. But if no one worthy of this is found, we have entrusted to the bearer of these presents the one on whom you likewise ought to bestow your consent.
183:2
Vos autem unanimes orate fideliter, ut quicunque fuerit ordinandus, et vobis utilis possit existere, et dignum Deo nostro sacerdotale exhibere servitium.
至於你們，要同心合意地忠信祈禱，好使無論誰將被祝聖，都既能對你們有益，又能向我們的天主獻上堪當的司祭職事。
And do you, being of one mind, pray faithfully, that whoever is to be ordained may both prove useful to you and render to our God a worthy priestly service.
