Tradução moderna em inglês
Pope Innocent I to Alexander, Bishop of Antioch: On Peace (second letter).
Innocent testifies by his public acts how welcome, how pious, how necessary the legation sent by Alexander's holiness to him has been. He writes as 'beloved brother' to Alexander in the warmest terms, rejoicing at the reconciliation achieved and at the peace now restored to the great church of Antioch. He expresses his hope that this renewed communion will prove stable and lasting, and calls on Alexander to maintain the Catholic faith firmly.
