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).
Gregory to Cyprian, deacon and rector of Sicily. Know that when the clergy of the Church of Lilybaeum came here to have a priest ordained for themselves, we granted them license to seek out a bishop for themselves. Finding Decius, a priest of the town, they besought with many prayers that he be consecrated for them, and we judged it needful to fulfil their petition. And therefore let your Charity not neglect to assist him in all things; so that, aided in all things by your help, with equity nevertheless preserved, being freer from the disturbances of lawsuits, he may be able to devote himself to the praises of God concerning the many things which Theodorus, once bishop of that same Church, left behind that ought to be amended.
