Letter 11023: Formula: Concerning the Charge of Correspondence.
23.
ON THE CHARGE OF THE LETTERS.
[1] Although many affirm the merits of Constantinianus, our endorsement too commends them. For so great is the sincerity of mind in him that he deserves to be praised even with the judge as witness. Let him therefore, advanced in rank, receive the charge of the canonical letters [the official correspondence], so that he may display all the more the importance of his integrity, seeing that he regards the public trust as having been committed to him.

XXIII.
DE CURA EPISTULARUM.
[1] Constantiniani merita licet plures asserant, adstipulatio quoque nostra commendat. tanta est etenim in eo sinceritas mentis, ut et iudice teste mereatur laudari. hic itaque epistularum canonicarum curam provectus accipiat, ut amplius momenta suae integritatis exhibeat, quando fidem publicam sibi respicit esse commissam.
