ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
Hence, even though we think that a pledge of the relics of the holy Cross is with you, yet we believe this munificence is to be sought especially from the holy bishop of the city of Aelia [Jerusalem]. For he, preserving by the administration of the place the true and inviolable purity of that sacred thing, is thus able to impart to us a desirable gift, so as to free us from all doubt of hesitation. On this matter I most earnestly beg, by this ministering page, that your apostolate would grant to the bearer letters to the bishop of the aforesaid church: so that a firm ground may come to us by a twofold blessing — which either the counsel-worthy authority of your see, pre-eminent among the churches of the world, will supply, or the kindness of that man, when besought, will extend.
