483:1
Gregorius a Cypriano rectori nostro per Siciliam. Habitatores b Locrensis civitatis quemdam ad nos presbyterum adduxerunt, qui e;s debnisset episcopus ordinari. Sed quia minime dignus inventus est, ne diu sine proprio possint consistere sacerdote, a nobis admoniti c in scrinio promiserunt alium sludiose se quaerere, et ad nos consecrandnm Deo adjutore perducere. Et ideo ad dileclionem tuam latore præsentium veniente, Marcianum presbyterum diœceseos Taurianensis Ecclesiae, qui nunc habitat in Ecc!esia quae est d in Massalargia constituta, dioecesis Catanensis Ecclesiae, ad te facito modis omnibus evocan;
額我略致遍及西西里的我方管理官奇普良（Cyprianus）。洛克里（Locri）城的居民帶了一位司鐸到我們這裡，他本應被祝聖為他們的主教。但因他被查出全然不配，為免他們長久沒有本堂的司鐸，他們受了我們的勸誡後，在檔案處立下承諾，要殷勤地另覓一人，並藉天主的相助帶到我們這裡受祝聖。因此，當本信的送呈者來到您的愛德那裡時，請務必以一切方法把馬爾祥諾（Marcianus）召到您那裡——他是陶利亞納（Tauriana）教會教區的司鐸，如今住在卡塔尼亞（Catania）教會教區內、座落於瑪撒拉爾濟亞（Massalargia）的堂區；
Gregory to Cyprianus, our rector throughout Sicily. The inhabitants of the city of Locri have brought to us a certain presbyter, who was to have been ordained bishop for them. But because he was found by no means worthy, lest they should long remain without a proper priest, being admonished by us, they promised in the record-office to seek another diligently, and to bring him to us to be consecrated, with God's help. And therefore, when the bearer of these presents comes to your Charity, cause Marcianus, a presbyter of the diocese of the Church of Tauriana, who now dwells in the church which is established at Massalargia, of the diocese of the Church of Catania, to be summoned to you by every means;
483:2
atque eum studii tui sit de criminibus, quae ad episcopatum accedere non permittunt cum omni subtilitate requirere. Et si eorum se expertem esse rebponderit, cum praesentium portitore eum festina dirigere, ut facto in eum decreto, ad nos veniat Deo protegente ordinandus. Si vero est aliquid quod ei possit obsistere, hunc qui ad dilectionem tuam venit, cum omni cura et celeritate dimitte, ut, eo ad loca sua remeante, alter secundum ea quae præmissa sunt requiratur. a Datum mense Augusti, indictione 15.
並要以您的熱心，用一切細心查究那些不許人晉升主教職的罪行。倘若他答稱自己與這些罪無涉，就趕緊差他與本信的送呈者一同前來，好使關於他的法令一經作成，他便可在天主的護佑下前來受祝聖。但倘若有任何足以阻礙他的事，就以一切謹慎與迅速打發這位來到您愛德那裡的人，好使他返回本處後，按上文所定的另覓一人。八月，第十五個小紀年，簽發。
and let it be your zeal to inquire with all subtlety concerning the crimes which do not permit one to approach the episcopate. And if he answers that he is free of them, hasten to send him with the bearer of these presents, so that, a decree being made concerning him, he may come to us, God protecting, to be ordained. But if there is anything that can stand in his way, dismiss this man who comes to your Charity with all care and speed, so that, when he returns to his own place, another may be sought according to what has been laid down above. Given in the month of August, in the fifteenth indiction.
