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 Romanus the defensor. Since our son Gentio, a magnificent man, the scribo, is—God being propitious—of such great goodness that he is greatly to be loved, we ought, if we could confer anything upon him, to have done so. For he had wished to hold a possession of ecclesiastical right under the form of leases. But on account of wicked scribos we judged it best not, in this matter, to entrust it even to a good man. Accordingly, excepting from the possession those things which could be turned to his advantage, we wish the same to be offered to his Magnitude each year—that is, twenty pigs, in such manner as you yourself shall provide, twenty wethers, and sixty hens. All of which we wish to be reckoned among the exceptions.
