Letter 39: Trigetius has informed Gelasius by petition that on his property called Sextilianus he has built a basilica...

Of Pope Gelasius, to Herculentius, bishop of Potentia. [41.] On the same condition he permits a church to be consecrated in honor of Saint Michael the archangel and of Mark the confessor. Gelasius to Herculentius, bishop of Potentia. Trigetius, by the presentation of this petition, has informed us that on his own property, which is called Sextilianum, he has, out of his own devotion, founded a basilica of Saints Michael the archangel and Mark the confessor. And therefore, dearest brother, if it belongs to your parish, bestow the blessing upon the above-mentioned basilica with solemn veneration. Let the founder, however, know that he is to claim nothing for himself from this basilica, except the right of entry for procession, which is owed in common to all Christians.
