Gregory to Fantinus, defensor. Jamnus, a Jew, the bearer of the present letter, has informed us that our defensor Candidus, together with other creditors, seized his ship and his goods, and sold them for the money which they had lent on credit; and that, all the debts having been settled according to the bonds, the aforesaid defensor alone retained with him the written bond of obligation, and, though he often entreated it, disdained to return it, because, as he says, the principal of the debt has been satisfied. We charge your Experience therefore that you take care to learn the matter with all thoroughness; and if you find it to be so, urge him by strict compulsion, so that, all delay being set aside, he restore the bond of the aforesaid bearer.
