798:1
Gregorius Adeodato servo Dei. Effectum justa postulantibus indulgere, et vigor aequitatis et ordo exigit rationis, praeerUnt quando petentium voluntatem et pietas adjuvat, et veritas non relinquit. Quia igitUr priusqnam in a monasterio sancti Adriani ubi es conversus, intrares, rerumque tuarum illic donationem emitteres, et domos ct hortos intra civitatem, seu terras sationales, vel vincas in fuudo, sicut nos docuisti, Carsininno, pariter et portiones luas in fundo Full niaco, vel ex aliquibus mancipiis tuis quibus a te concessa libertas est, verbo largitus es;
額我略致上帝的僕人德奧達圖斯。對那作出正當請求之人給予成全，這是公平之力與理性之序所要求的，只要既有敬虔助佑請求者的意願，又有真理不離棄它。既然如此，在你進入你所皈依的聖亞德里安隱修院、並在那裡發出你財物的贈與之前，正如你所告知我們的，你曾以言語慷慨給予了城內的房舍與園圃，或卡爾西尼亞農莊園的耕地與葡萄園，同樣還有你在富利尼亞庫姆莊園的份地，或你所賜自由的某些奴僕；
Gregory to Deodatus, servant of God. To grant effect to those who make just petitions, both the vigor of equity and the order of reason demand, whenever both piety aids the will of the petitioners and truth does not forsake it. Since therefore, before you entered into the monastery of Saint Adrian where you are converted, and issued there a donation of your possessions, and, as you have taught us, by word you bestowed the houses and gardens within the city, or the arable lands, or the vineyards on the estate of Carsinianum, likewise also your portions on the estate of Fulliniacum, or from certain of your slaves to whom liberty has been granted by you;
798:2
ipsaque donatio licet possit jure subsistere, praecipue in hoc quod ab illis tribuitur qui, cum pompis suis saeculum relinquentes, ad Dei se eligunt conferre servitium, quoniam tamen, ne quid futurum t mpus oblivionis nubilo huic d< rogare quidquam valeat largitati, scripturæ huc desideras tradere monumentis, quod ut queat robustum existere a nobis tibi poscis dari licentiam; idcirco h"jus præcepti nostri pagina, liberam tibi hoc faciendi concedimus facultatem, quatenus dum omnia.
雖然那贈與能在法律上成立，尤其在這一點上，即它是由那些離棄世俗及其虛華、選擇將自己獻於事奉上帝的人所給予的，然而，為免將來有任何時候，遺忘的陰霾能從這慷慨之施上減損什麼，你渴望在此將它交付於文書的記錄；並且為使它能穩固成立，你求我們給你許可；因此，我們藉此訓令之文，授予你自由的權能去行此事，好使當一切……
and although that donation may be able to subsist by law, especially in this respect, that it is bestowed by those who, leaving the world with its pomps, choose to devote themselves to the service of God, yet nevertheless, lest any future time by the cloud of forgetfulness should be able to detract anything from this bounty, you desire to hand it over here to the records of a writing, and you ask that license be given to you by us, so that it may be able to stand firm; therefore by the page of this our precept we grant you the free faculty of doing this, so that when all things...
798:3
a te fuerint diligenter expressa, et dcsignaLione tua noverint esse quod suum est, quod cunctis modo commune est, et ipsi sine contentione donata possideant, et voluntas tua quid ad quem pertinere voluerit esse non possit ambigua. Quidquid enim hujusmodi scriptura interveniente feceris firmum stabileque et es rei ipsius veritate et hac nostra auctoritate non dubites, quippe qui non novum aliquid facere b quod lege est vetitum, sed dudum factum videris exprimerc, et salubriter amputandi causa litigii litterarum memoriae servanda dcponere.
……都由你仔細載明，並藉你的指定，他們能得知何為屬己之物、何為如今眾人共有之物，他們也能毫無爭執地占有所贈之物，而你的意願——就是你所願某物歸屬某人之事——也不致含糊不明。因為凡此類事，你在有文書介入下所行的，你當毫不懷疑：它既憑事情本身的真實、又憑我們此權柄而堅固穩定，因你所行的並非什麼律法所禁的新事，而是表述早已所行之事，且為有益地斷絕興訟之因，將它記錄下來，以保存於文字的記憶中。
...shall have been diligently expressed by you, and by your designation they may know what is their own, what is now common to all, and they themselves may possess the things donated without contention, and your will as to what you wished to pertain to whom may not be able to be ambiguous. For whatever of this kind you shall have done with a writing intervening, doubt not that it is firm and stable both by the truth of the matter itself and by this our authority, seeing that you seem not to be doing anything new which is forbidden by law, but to be expressing what was long since done, and, for the sake of salutarily cutting off cause of litigation, to be depositing it, to be preserved for the memory of letters.
