(;regorius a Mariniano episcopo Ravennæ. Si latoris praesentium Slephani viri clarissimi querela veritate subsistit, otnnino nos fraternitas vestra contristatos intelligat, cur tam pigra vel deses exstiterit, ut ante ad nos facti pravitas quam cor. rectio perveniret. Questus itaque est quod cognatam ejus cui aliquando b Petrus qu dam nequissin.us diabolico instinctu de monaslerio exire suaserat, atque a Gratioso notario nostro fucrat mutato habitu unde exierat revocata, nequissimus vir iniqua suasione de monasterio rursus ejiciens, apud se nuncusque impudice retineat. Ex qua re valde nos sicut diximus, tua desidia contristavit, cur necdum in monasterium revocata sit ac retrusa.
貴格利致拉溫納主教瑪利尼亞努斯。倘若本函持送者、極尊貴之人斯德望的申訴確屬實情，願你的弟兄之情明白：我們深感憂傷，你為何顯得如此怠惰懶散，竟使那惡行在得糾正之前先傳到了我們這裡。他申訴說：有一個極其邪惡之人彼得——他一度受魔鬼慫恿，勸誘斯德望的女親屬離開隱修院，後來這女子已被我們的公證員格拉提奧蘇斯換回會服、召回她所出離之處——這極邪惡之人卻又以邪惡的慫恿，把她再次逐出隱修院，至今不貞地把她扣留在自己身邊。正如我們所說，你的疏忽在此事上大大使我們憂傷：她為何至今尚未被召回、被拘禁於隱修院中。
Gregory to Marinianus, bishop of Ravenna. If the complaint of the bearer of these presents, Stephen, a most illustrious man, subsists in truth, let your fraternity understand us to be altogether saddened why you have proved so slothful or so idle, that the wickedness of the deed should reach us before its correction. He has complained, then, that a certain most wicked man, Peter — who at some time, by diabolic instigation, had persuaded his kinswoman to leave the monastery, and who had been recalled by Gratiosus our notary, with the habit changed, to that whence she had gone out — this most wicked man, by wicked persuasion casting her out again from the monastery, retains her with himself unchastely up to now. By which matter, as we have said, your negligence has greatly saddened us, why she has not yet been recalled and confined in the monastery.
627:2
Vel nunc ergo propositi tui consideratio et zelus te castitatis accendat id summopere modis quibus potueris studere, ut asperitatem quam de tantae iniquitatis perpetratione concepimus, ejus citius valeas « correctione mollire. Nam et Vitali defensori praecipimus ut vobis hac in causa solatiari non differat. Sed quia memoratus Petrus ab homine filii nostri magnilici Filoxeni dicitur defensari, apud eum vobis cum omni studio et cbaritate instanter agendum est, ut eam sine aliqua faciat dila tione reslilui, quem credimus hoc, quia bonus omnino vir esse dicitur, sine mora facturum. Quod si forte, quod non credimus, aliqua hoc fuerit excusatione dilatum, tunc etiam d publice contestandus est.
因此，至少如今，願你所立志向的思量與貞潔的熱心激勵你竭盡全力，用你所能的一切方法奮力去行，好使你能藉她的糾正，較快地緩和我們因如此重大罪惡之行所生的憤慨。因為我們也已囑咐護衛官維塔利斯，不要延遲在此案上援助你。但既然據說前述的彼得受我們卓越之子腓羅克塞努斯的手下人庇護，你就當立即與他行事，滿懷熱心與仁愛，催他使那女子毫不遲延地被歸還——我們相信他必毫不遲延地照辦，因為據說他是個全然良善之人。但若或許——這是我們所不相信的——此事竟以某種藉口被拖延，那麼就當公然對他提出抗議。
At least now, therefore, let the consideration of your purpose and the zeal of chastity kindle you to strive with utmost effort, in whatever ways you can, that you may be able the more quickly to soften, by her correction, the harshness which we have conceived from the perpetration of so great an iniquity. For we have also charged Vitalis the defensor not to defer to give you aid in this cause. But since the aforementioned Peter is said to be defended by a man of our magnificent son Philoxenus, you must act with him instantly, with all zeal and charity, that he cause her to be restored without any delay — which we believe he will do without delay, since he is said to be altogether a good man. But if perhaps — which we do not believe — this should be deferred by some excuse, then he is even publicly to be protested against.
627:3
Atque fraternitas nobis vestra renuntiet, ut exinde e in urbem regiam 1047 scribamus, quatenus, quod fieri honeste negligitur, ea qua dignum esL.ultione plectatur.
並願你的弟兄之情回報我們，好使我們就此致書京城，使那本該體面地去行卻被忽略之事，得以按其所當的懲罰受報應。
And let your fraternity report back to us, so that thereupon we may write to the royal city, to the end that what is honorably neglected to be done may be punished with such vengeance as is fitting.
