335:1
Gregorius Candido defensori. Necessitatem patientibus pontificale convenit adesse substdium. Pro qua re experientiæ tuae præsenti auctoritate praecipimus quatenus Albino privato luminibus filio quondam Martini coloni singulis annis a duos tremisses sine aliqua dilatione præstare non desinat, non dubitatura suis boc sine dubio rationibus imputari. Gregorius Januario episcopo Caralitano. Pervenit ad nos in loco qui intra provinciam Sardiniam a Phausiana dicitur consuctudinem fuisse episcopum ordinandi, sed hanc pro rerum necessitate longis abolevisse temporibus.
額我略致護衛員甘迪杜。教宗的職分理應以援助扶持那些遭受困乏的人。為此緣由，我們藉這道權柄命令你的幹練：你不可停止每年毫不遲延地供給二枚特雷米西給那雙目失明的阿爾比努——已故佃農瑪爾定的兒子，不必疑慮這必無問題地記在你的賬上。額我略致卡利亞里主教雅努阿里。有消息傳到我們這裡，說在撒丁尼亞省內一個名叫弗奧西亞納的地方，曾有祝聖主教的慣例，但因事務的壓力，這慣例歷經長久年月已廢弛。
Gregory to Candidus the defensor. It befits the pontifical office to be present with aid to those suffering necessity. For which reason we command your Experience by the present authority that you cease not to furnish each year, without any delay, two tremisses to Albinus, deprived of his sight, the son of the late colonus Martinus, not doubting that this will without question be reckoned to your accounts. Gregory to Januarius, bishop of Cagliari. It has come to us that in a place within the province of Sardinia which is called Phausiana there was a custom of ordaining a bishop, but that this had lapsed through long times owing to the pressure of affairs.
335:2
Quia autem nunc sacerdotum indigentia quosdam illic paganos remanere cognovimus, et ferino degentes modo, Dei culturn penitus ignorare, hortamur fraternitatem tuatn ut illic secundum pristinum modum ordinare festinet antistitem, talcm videlicet qui ad boc opus moribus ac verbo existat idoneus, et aberrantes ad grcgem dominicum pastorali studeat æmulatione deducere; quatenus eo illic ad animarum vacante compendium, nec vos inveniamini superflua popuscisse nec olim destructa frustra nos rcformasse poeniteat.
但因我們得知如今由於缺乏司鐸，某些異教徒仍留在那裡，且以野獸般的方式生活，全然不認識對天主的敬拜，我們勸勉你的弟兄之情，速速按照舊有的方式在那裡祝聖一位主教，也就是在品行與言語上都堪當此工的人，好使他能以牧者的熱誠努力把迷途者領回主的羊群；如此，既在那裡顧念了靈魂的益處，你就不致被發現是求取了多餘之物，我們也不致為徒然重建那曾被毀壞之事而後悔。
But because we have learned that now, through the lack of priests, certain pagans remain there and, living in a beastly manner, are wholly ignorant of the worship of God, we exhort your Fraternity that you hasten to ordain there a bishop according to the former manner, one namely who is fit for this work in character and in word, and who may strive with pastoral zeal to lead back those who go astray to the Lord's flock; so that, with the profit of souls being attended to there, neither may you be found to have sought something superfluous, nor may we repent of having in vain restored what was once destroyed.
