203:1
Gregorius clero, ordini et plebi consistentibus « Mevaniensi Ecclesiæ. Quoties res aliqua pluribus agenda committitur, dom quisquis dissentit ab altero, dispendiis potius quam utilitatibus aditus reseratur. Quod nos providentes, ne hoc vestræ contingere possit Ecclesiæ, ejus curam utilitatesque Honorato presbytero ad præsens committendas elegimus, quatenus res utilitatesque Ecclesiae per eum et procurari valeant, et modis clunibus CUSlOlliri. 565 Ideoque dilectionem vestram scriptis præsentibus adhortamur, quatenus, ut vobis possit ordinarj sacerdos, invicem vestrae voluntatis in unius digna elcetione concordet assensus, nec amplius Dei Ecclesiam officio patiamini vacare pontificis.
額我略致居於梅瓦尼亞教會的聖職人員、修會與百姓。每當某件當辦之事被委託給多人時，只要各人彼此不合，便是為虧損而非為益處敞開了門路。我們有見於此，為防這事臨到你們的教會，便選定暫且將其照顧與利益委託給司鐸霍諾拉圖斯，好使教會的事務與利益既由他管理，也在各方面得蒙看守。因此，我們藉這封現呈的書信勸勉你們的愛，好使為要給你們按立一位司鐸，你們意願的贊同能在對一人的合宜揀選上取得一致，且不再容讓天主的教會空缺主教之職。
Gregory to the clergy, order, and people residing at the Church of Mevania. As often as some matter to be done is committed to several persons, while each one dissents from another, an entrance is opened to losses rather than to advantages. Providing against this, lest it should be able to befall your Church, we have chosen to commit its care and interests for the present to Honoratus the presbyter, so that the affairs and interests of the Church may both be managed by him and guarded in every way. And therefore by these present writings we exhort your love, that, in order that a priest may be ordained for you, the assent of your will may agree in the worthy election of one man, and that you may no longer suffer the Church of God to be vacant of the office of a pontiff.
203:2
Quousque vero Ecclesiæ ipsi sacerdos fuerit ordinandus e omnem supradicto presbytcru. ticut diximus, sollicitudinis ejus curaro commissimus. Ita ergo se vestra dilectio in his omnibus exhibere festinet, ut amorem vos Ecclesiæ labere, pronae dcvotio menntis ostendat. ( ide I. I I, ep. 64)
但直到有司鐸為那教會按立之前，如我們所說，我們已將其一切殷勤的照顧委託給前述的司鐸。因此，願你們的愛在這一切事上急速如此顯明，好使你們心思甘願的虔敬顯出你們對教會的愛。（見第二卷，第六十四封信。）
But until a priest shall be ordained for that Church, we have committed the whole of its solicitous care, as we have said, to the aforesaid presbyter. Let your love therefore hasten to show itself in all these matters so, that the ready devotion of your mind may show that you have love for the Church. (See Book II, letter 64.)
