662:1
Gregorius Joanni episcopo Syracusano. Cum lator praesentium Crescenlius a viearius noSter, quem ad se filius noster gloriosissimus 1076 domnus Leontius exconsul praecepit occurrere, exire de seplis venerabilibus dubitaret, ne qua per eum excusalio aliis fortasse nasceretur, aut publica diceretur utilitas impediri, ei ut egredi debuisset, æquitale servata, permitti feciMus. Et ideo quia baec illi res, sicut jussus fuerat, illic suasit occurrere, frater- < nitas vestra ei salva ratione concurrat, atque apud praedictum gloriosissimum Domuutn vestrum agere cum ea qua consuevit charitate studeat, ut in nullo cum contra leges aut rationem patiatur aliquo modo praegravari;
額我略致敘拉古主教若望。本函持信人、我們的代理克雷斯肯提烏，我們至榮耀的兒子、前執政官萊翁提烏大人曾命他前去迎見；當他躊躇不肯離開那些可敬的隱修禁地，唯恐藉他而或許給別人生出推諉的藉口，或被說成阻礙了公共利益時，我們便使人准他按理外出，同時保全公道。因此，既然這事按他所受的命令促使他前往那裡，願你的弟兄之情以正當之理與他相會，並竭力以其素常的愛德，在上述你至榮耀的大人面前為他行事，好使他絕不致在任何方面違背法律或情理地受任何壓迫；
Gregory to John, bishop of Syracuse. When the bearer of these presents, Crescentius our vicar, whom our most glorious son the lord Leontius, ex-consul, ordered to come to meet him, hesitated to go out from the venerable enclosures, lest through him some excuse might perhaps arise for others, or the public utility be said to be impeded, we caused it to be permitted him to go out as he ought, equity being preserved. And therefore, since this matter, as he had been ordered, urged him to come thither, let your fraternity meet with him with sound reason, and strive to act with the aforesaid most glorious lord of yours with that charity which it is accustomed, so that in no way may he suffer to be in any manner oppressed against the laws or reason;
662:2
sed justitiam ei, sicut Christianitati ejus convenit, iu omnibus faciat custodiri, quatenus et ipse ad mercedem suam, quod aequitatis ordo exigit,:videatur salubriter servasse, et hic se contra ea qux promitti fecimus, gravari non sentiat. (Vide ep. 50.)
反倒使人在一切事上為他保全公義，正如合乎他基督徒身分的，好使他自己既得以有益地保全了公道之序所要求的，直到獲得自己的賞報，也使這人不覺得自己違背我們所使人應許的事而受了壓制。（參看第 50 封書信。）
but let him cause justice to be preserved for him in all things, as befits his Christianity, so that both he himself may be seen healthfully to have preserved that which the order of equity demands, unto his own reward, and that this man may not feel himself to be burdened against those things which we caused to be promised. (See epistle 50.)
