Gregory the Great (Wisigothic) & Peter, subdeacon

For the celebration of the dedication of the church, you are to provide the following for distribution to the poor:...

Pastor, who has served as bishop, is now infirm and has lost the use of his eyes [or has significantly impaired vision].

Gregory to Peter, subdeacon, of the church of Taormina [a city in eastern Sicily].

The church that is being consecrated requires relics for its altar.

The instructions I gave you in my previous letter are to be carried out as directed.

Gregory to Peter, subdeacon [Gregory's administrator in Sicily].
