495:1
Gregorius Sergio defensori. Si homo esses (Gral. 27, q. 1, c. 19), a aut districtionem aliquam habuisses, ita regularis disciplinæ debuisti custos existere, ut ea quae illicite illic committuntur, ante vindicta corrigeret, quam ad nos eo. rum nuntius perveniret. Sed dum nimia te facit stultitia negligentem, non solum de illis offendimur, sed etiam ad ulciscendam desidiam tuam nihilominus provocamur.
格里高利致護衛人塞爾吉烏。你若是個真男子,或曾有些許嚴謹,你本當顯明自己是規章紀律的看守者,以致對那裏所不法犯下之事,先施懲治糾正,然後其消息才傳到我們這裏。但既然過度的愚妄使你疏忽,我們不僅為那些事被冒犯,也同樣被激動去懲治你的怠惰。
Gregory to Sergius the defender. Had you been a man, or had you possessed any strictness, you ought to have proved yourself so a guardian of regular discipline that you would correct by punishment those things which are unlawfully committed there before their report reached us. But since excessive folly makes you negligent, we are not only offended concerning those matters, but are likewise provoked to avenge your sloth.
495:2
Omni ergo dilalione omnique excusatione postposita, filiam gloriosae memoriae Tulliani, b magistri militiæ, quæ, projectis, quas sponte assumpserat, religiosis vestibus, indumentis se laicis deturpavit, una cum fratre et coepiscopo nostro Vitaliano festina comprehendere, atque ad religiosum rursus habitum revocare, ac in monasterium mittere, uhi stricte omnino valeat cusLodiri. Nec ejus custodiam aliquatenus relevari permittas, quusque nostra deduo scripta susceperis. Nam si quolibet modo in hac re negligens vel lentus exstiteris, ita in te noveris districtissime vindicandum, ut quod ex te nescis, poena possis « resecante cognoscere;
故此,當撇下一切遲延與一切藉口,急速拿住那榮耀紀念的軍統帥圖利安的女兒——她既脫去了自己甘願披上的虔敬服裝,竟以俗人衣著玷污自己——連同我們的弟兄與同主教維塔利安一同行動,把她再召回虔敬的職服,並將她送入一座隱修院,在那裏她可被全然嚴密地看守。在你再度收到我們的信之前,不可容她的看管有絲毫鬆懈。因為你若以任何方式在此事上顯出疏忽或遲緩,你要知道,你必受極嚴厲的懲治,以致那你自己所不知道的,你可藉那切入你身的刑罰得以認清;
Therefore, all delay and all excuse being set aside, make haste to apprehend the daughter of Tullianus of glorious memory, the master of soldiery, who, having cast off the religious garments she had of her own accord assumed, has defiled herself with lay clothing—together with our brother and fellow-bishop Vitalianus—and to recall her again to the religious habit, and to send her into a monastery, where she may be able to be guarded altogether strictly. Nor permit her custody to be in any degree relaxed, until you have again received our writings. For if in any way you prove negligent or slow in this matter, know that you will be most strictly punished, so that what you know not of yourself, you may be able to learn by punishment cutting into you;
495:3
quia, sicut diximus, si intellectum hominis habuisses, hæc quae modo facere præciperis a te dehueramus etiam cum ultione facta cognoscere. (Ct. Joan. Diac. I. III, n. 40.)
因為如我們所說的,你若曾有人的悟性,這些如今吩咐你去做的事,我們本當得知你早已辦妥,甚至連同懲治也一併施行了。
because, as we have said, if you had had the understanding of a man, these things which you are now commanded to do we ought to have learned as already done by you, even with vengeance.
