Gregory the Great (Wisigothic) → Romanus, Patrician, and Exarch of Italy
Tradução moderna em inglês
In the month of November of the present second indiction, we direct your experience by our order that you should restore to Callixenus, son of Stephania, the ownership of the Catliena estate, which Mammosa, grandmother of the same Callixenus, had conveyed to our Church by a donation. You ought to have returned this donation to him, but you deferred doing so, as is said, on the excuse that notice of the same donation was not recorded in the estate registers. Know that you spoke improperly in this, since the page of our directive serves as sufficient proof for your protection.
