Gregory to Peter, subdeacon. If, feeling compassion, we run with a kindly mind to the needs of our neighbours, we without doubt find the Lord merciful to our petitions. For we have learned that the shepherd who is seen to labour under excessive infirmity, having a wife and two slaves, and who once was in the service of Jonathas of glorious memory, is subject to very many necessities. Therefore by the page of this present precept we admonish your Discretion that, for his support, you do not delay to give three hundred measures of wheat yearly, and likewise as many measures of beans, 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.
