794:1
Gregorius Romano defensori. Qualem necessitatem diversa officia palatii urbis Romæ a de annonis suis sustineant, experientiam tuam credimus non latere.
額我略致護衛官羅馬努斯。羅馬城宮廷中各樣職務就其糧餉所承受的困乏是何等的，我們相信你的幹練並非不知。
Gregory to Romanus, defender. What need the various offices of the palace of the city of Rome are sustaining as regards their provisions, we believe is not hidden from your Experience.
794:2
Et ideo quia latores praesentium vice sua illuc omnes elegerunt transmittere, ut apud filium nostrum gloriosum Leontium agere debeant, qualiter ipsae eis annonae, sicut a serenissinis principibus largitae sunt, deputentur impendi, et in hac re etiam sibi petiverunt experientiam tuam debere concurrere, eapropter, quia hoc et etiam illis non petentibus eorum exigit paupertas ac necessitas impertiri, dum aptum opportunumque esse conspexeris, eis de quibus valueris, studii tui sit ita prabere solatia, quatenus boc quod illis clementissimi principes pietate sibi ingenita concesserunt, et illi consequi valeant,et tu indisertus non videaris existere.
因此，既然呈遞此信者眾人都選擇為自己派人前往那裡，好向我們榮耀的兒子萊翁提烏斯陳情，好使那些糧餉照至寧靜的君王們所賜予的樣式，得以撥給他們支用；並且在此事上，他們也請求你的幹練當與他們協力：緣此，既然他們的貧困與需要要求即便他們不求，也當將此施予他們，那麼當你察覺合宜且適時之際，願你熱心如此，在凡你所能之事上向他們施予扶助，好使那至仁慈的君王們憑其天生的敬虔所賜予他們的，他們既能獲得，而你也不致顯得是個無能言辭之人。
And therefore, since the bearers of these presents have all chosen to send thither on their own behalf, so that they may plead with our glorious son Leontius, in what manner those provisions may be assigned to be disbursed to them, just as they were bestowed by the most serene princes, and in this matter they have also asked that your Experience ought to concur with them: for this reason, since their poverty and need require that this be imparted to them even without their asking, when you shall have perceived it fitting and opportune, let it be of your zeal thus to afford them solace in whatever things you shall have been able, so that this which the most clement princes granted to them out of their inborn piety, both they may be able to obtain, and you may not seem to exist as one lacking in eloquence.
