Letter 11014: I am sending you to Genoa on a matter of some importance.

Let Your Experience [the addressed official], supported by present authority, proceed to the city of Genoa, the Lord assisting, and there solemnly cause Deusdedit, deacon of the church of Milan, to be ordained bishop -- provided, however, that he has been approved by all, and that there is nothing which, from his past life, could stand against him under the sacred canons. Furthermore, since there are many concerns of our church in that place which, by God's favor, are being carried forward, it is necessary to be attentive, and so to inquire into and usefully arrange everything according to the chapter annexed below, that no fault of negligence may have regard to you, but [...]. [The remainder of the source consists entirely of the editors' critical apparatus -- manuscript variant readings (from witnesses B, Q, q, and the printed editions) and editorial notes citing parallel passages in other epistles (e.g., I.46, IX.2, VIII.36, I.34) and conjectures by Mommsen and Ewald -- not text of the letter itself, and so is not part of the letter's content.]
