Gregory to Anthemius, subdeacon. If, feeling compassion, we run with a kindly mind to the needs of our neighbours, we shall without doubt find the Lord merciful to our own needs. For the illustrious lady Palatina has made known that, through continual hostility, she lies subject to many necessities. Therefore by the present authority we charge your Discretion that, for her support, you do not delay to give thirty solidi yearly, which may afterwards be charged to your accounts. So then act that you both, by ministering well, may gain the profit of a reward, and may bring our commands to effect.
