683:1
Gregorius Pantaleoni notario. Experientia tua, praesenti auctoritate sufrulta, ad Genuensem urbem, auxiliante Domino, proficiscens, Deusdedit diaconum Ecclesiae Mediolanensis, si tamen a cunctis electus est, et nihil est quod ei ex anteac't vita per sacros possit canoncs obviare, episcopum solemniter faciat ordinari. Praeterea, quia multæ illic Ecclesias nostræ utilitates sunt, quae Deo propitio peragamur, sollicitum te esse necesse est, et ita omnia secundum capitularem subter annexum requirere, utiliterque disponere, ut in nullo te neglectus culpa respicere, sed magis vigilantia Deo et hominibus valeat commendare.
額我略致公證員潘塔萊翁。你當靠著主的助佑、憑本函所賦的權柄，動身前往熱那亞城，並須知悉：米蘭教會的執事德屋斯德狄——只要他確實蒙眾人所選，且其昔日生活中並無按聖教法典可阻擋他的事——當被隆重地祝聖為主教。此外，既然那裡有許多關乎我們教會的利益，賴天主眷佑須要辦理，你必須勤勉，並按下附的分項清單去查究、善加安排一切，好使你毫無疏忽之過可被追究，反倒使你的儆醒得將你薦於天主與眾人之前。
Gregory to Pantaleon the notary. Setting out, with the Lord's help, and supported by the present authority, to the city of Genoa, do you know that Deusdedit, deacon of the Church of Milan—if indeed he has been elected by all, and there is nothing that, from his former life, can stand against him according to the sacred canons—is solemnly to be ordained bishop. Moreover, since there are many advantages there for our Church, which by God's favour are to be carried out, it is needful that you be diligent, and so inquire into and usefully arrange all things according to the chapter-schedule annexed below, that no fault of negligence may in any respect concern you, but rather that your vigilance may commend you to God and to men.
