Gregory to Maurentius, master of soldiers. Domitius, a magnificent man, has petitioned that we should write to your Glory, that, when others are sailing, his son likewise should have licence to sail. And although we are certain concerning your Glory that you would do nothing that is indiscreet, but would attend to all things wisely, yet we exhort that, if others are released, he ought not to be detained, lest perchance he should seem to be detained not by reason but by the mere enmity of the brethren. You, however, who are present, considering the general benefit also with regard for equity, are able better to perceive what may be expedient.
