To Candidus, presbyter, rector of the patrimony.
He commends the presbyter Aurelius, that he may entrust to him an oratory or some place.
Gregory to Candidus, presbyter of Gaul.
The bearer of the present letter, our son the presbyter Aurelius [...], if among the possessions of the blessed Peter, chief of the apostles, an oratory or a place can be found that is in need of a presbyter or an abbot, it ought to be entrusted to him, so that he himself may find support for the present life, and that we may be found to have complied with his petition. Therefore we commend him to your charity in every way, so that in whatever his need shall require, your charity may assist him, and that he may find there the comfort of our letters.
