112:1
Et Romæ pervenisse tuam mansuetudinem, etitionem oblatam a Leone reverendissimo patriarcha, in ipso litterarum textu a tua majestate significatum est. Et de tua quidem incolumi in Romanajurbe reversione gratias competentes divinæ|majestati reddimus, domine sanctissime fili et venerabilis imperator. De his autem quae dixit memoratus reverendissimus vir indicatum est ad eumdeml latius atque plenius, sicut arbitrati sumus, 988 et cognovit nos in nulla parte a paterna religione et majorum traditione resiliisse.
陛下已抵達羅馬，以及至可敬的宗主教利奧所呈上的請願，都已由陛下在來信正文中示知我們。至聖之主、我子、可敬的皇帝啊，為著陛下平安返回羅馬城，我們向神聖的至尊獻上相稱的感謝。至於那位至可敬者所提之事，我們已照所判斷認為合宜的，向他更詳盡更完備地說明;他也已得知，我們在任何一點上都未偏離祖傳的信仰與先人的傳統。
That your Gentleness has arrived at Rome, and the petition presented by the most reverend patriarch Leo, has been signified to us by your Majesty in the very text of your letters. And for your safe return to the city of Rome we render fitting thanks to the divine Majesty, most holy lord son and venerable emperor. But concerning those things which the aforesaid most reverend man has said, it has been more amply and more fully indicated to him, as we have judged fit, and he has learned that we have in no part swerved from the ancestral religion and the tradition of our forefathers.
112:2
Nihil enim aliud volumus quam sacramenta paterna per successionem nobis tradita inviolabiliter (I) custodiri, Propter hanc,igitur causam, quoniam quosdam cognovimus sanctissimas Ecclesias nocibili novitate.turbare, synodum decrevimus Ephesi fieri. In praesentia quippe reverendissimorum episcoporum, cum multa* libertate ac integra veritate et indigni sacerdotio remoti sunt, et qui judicati sunt esse digni suscepti eunt. Nihil igitur ab his contrarium regulae fidei aut justitiae factum esse cognovimus. Omnis igitur contentio sacro judicio examinata est. Flavianus autem, qui reus inventus est laesibilis novitatis, debitum recepit.
因為我們別無所求，惟願藉承繼傳給我們的祖傳聖禮得以不可侵犯地保存。故此為這緣故，我們既得知有些人以有害的新奇擾亂至聖的眾教會，便下令在以弗所召開會議。在諸至可敬的主教面前，以極大的自由與完全的真理，那些不配聖職的人被革除，那些被判為配得的人則被接納。因此我們查明這些人所行的，並無違背信仰或公義的規範。故每一爭端都已由神聖的判斷加以審查。至於弗拉維安，既被查出犯了有害新奇之罪，就受了應得的處分。
For we desire nothing else than that the ancestral sacraments handed down to us by succession be inviolably preserved. For this cause, therefore, since we have learned that certain persons were disturbing the most holy Churches with harmful novelty, we decreed that a synod should be held at Ephesus. In the presence indeed of the most reverend bishops, with much freedom and with entire truth, both those unworthy of the priesthood were removed, and those who were judged worthy were received. Nothing therefore have we found to have been done by these contrary to the rule of faith or of justice. Every contention therefore has been examined by sacred judgment. But Flavian, who was found guilty of injurious novelty, has received his due.
112:3
Et hoc remoto omnis pax et omnis concordia regnat in Ecclesiis, et nihil aliud quam veritas viget.
既除去此事，眾教會中便有全然的平安與和睦掌權，除真理之外別無他物興盛。
And this being removed, all peace and all concord reigns in the Churches, and nothing else flourishes but the truth.
