Gregory to Theodorus, curator. Although the goodness of your glory does not know how to consign to oblivion those once commended to it, nevertheless, knowing that our dearest son does not receive these same things, repeated, as burdensome, it does not irk us to write what we have already written. Since, therefore, our most glorious son John, prefect of the city, is known to have sent thither, to bring hither his wife, the bearer of these presents, John, a most illustrious man, greeting you with paternal love, we ask that — since our aforementioned most glorious son cannot remain here divided — the sincerity of your glory bring the aid of its patronage to his coming wife.
And that she may be able, with God guarding, to accomplish her journey more securely to the city of Perugia, let it arrange for her to be supported with military escort, so that both the aforesaid glorious man may be the more devoted to your patronages, and we may render thanks to your sweetest glory.
