Gregorius Petro suldiacono Campaniæ.^ Cor nostrum pia Divinitatis inspiratione compun-' gilur loca quondam exsecrandis erroribus deputata ' in catholicæ religionis reverentiam ded care A. Quia ! agitur ecclesiam positam juxta domum Merulanam regione tertia, quam supertitio 638 diu Ariana detinuit, in honorem sancti h Severini cupimus consecrare, experientia tua reliquias beati Severini summopere debita cum veneratione transmittat, quatenus quae nostris animis periicienda decrevimus, implere, omnipotentis gratia suffragante, possimus.
額我略致坎帕尼亞的副助祭伯多祿。我們的心因天主聖德的虔敬感動而被激勵，要將昔日委於可憎謬誤的地方，奉獻歸於大公信仰的崇敬。既然我們渴望將坐落在第三區梅魯拉之屋旁、長久為亞略異端迷信所盤據的一座聖堂，奉獻以尊崇聖塞維林，願閣下極其謹慎地以應有的崇敬轉送聖塞維林的聖髑前來，好使我們藉全能者恩典的相助，得以成就我們心中所定要完成的事。
Gregory to Peter, subdeacon of Campania. Our heart is pricked by the pious inspiration of the Godhead to dedicate to the reverence of the Catholic religion places once assigned to execrable errors. Since therefore we desire to consecrate in honour of Saint Severinus a church situated next to the Merulan house in the third region, which Arian superstition long held, let Your Experience with the utmost care transmit the relics of blessed Severinus with due veneration, so that, the grace of the Almighty aiding, we may be able to fulfil what we have determined in our minds to be accomplished.
