Gregory to Maximianus, bishop of Syracuse. A Church situated in fortified places ought not to be without the office of a pastor. Since therefore the Church of Lipari is known to be deprived of a priest, let your fraternity without delay appoint Paulinus, bishop of the Church of Tauriana, to preside over the aforesaid Church of Lipari, that he may vigilantly exhibit the administration of his office in that same Church, and may not cease to set in order whatever he shall have learned to be suitable for its interests. And admonish all the clergy that they ought in all things canonically to obey him, so that the advantage of the aforesaid Church may in all things be able to be provided for — the said brother and our fellow-bishop directing it — with Christ's help.
