782:1
Gregorius " Donito defensori. Filius noster Fortunatus, abbas monasterii sancti b Severini, quod in bac urbe Romana situm est, fatores praesentium monachos suos illic pro recolligendis mancipiis juris sui monasterii, quae illic latitare dicuntur, dirigens,! petiit ut experientiae tuæ ei debeant adesse solatia. Eapropter praesenti tibi attctoritate præcipimus, ut eis in omnibus salva ratione concurrere ac opitulari festines, quatenus, te illic coram posito, atque in hac causa ferente solatia, salubriter haec citius valcant quae sibi injuncta sunt ad effectum, c Deo auctore, perducere.
額我略致護衛官多尼圖斯。我們的兒子福爾圖納圖斯,聖塞維利諾隱修院(座落於這羅馬城中)的院長,差遣這些持信人——他的隱修士——往那裡去,為要收回依法屬於其隱修院、據說潛匿在那裡的奴僕,曾請求你之幹練的援助能臨到他。因此我們憑現有的權柄命令你,凡事在合理範圍內急速與他們協作、援助他們,好使你親臨那裡、在此案中施以援手,使他們藉神為主宰,能更快速且妥善地成就那委託於他們之事。
Gregory to Donitus the defender. Our son Fortunatus, abbot of the monastery of Saint Severinus, which is situated in this city of Rome, directing thither the bearers of these presents, his monks, for the recovery of the bondservants belonging by right to his monastery, who are said to be lurking there, has petitioned that the aids of your Experience may be present to him. Wherefore by the present authority we command you that you hasten in all things, saving reason, to concur with them and to help them, so that, you being placed there in person and bringing aid in this cause, they may the more speedily and healthfully be able to bring to effect, God being the author, the things which have been enjoined upon them.
