Gregory to Felix the bishop and Cyriacus the abbot. The series of the report sufficiently explains the complaint of Theodosia, a religious woman subject to you, in which we have read through many charges — and not such as pertain to sacerdotal gentleness — comprised against our brother and fellow-bishop Januarius: namely, that after a monastery of the servants of God had been founded by her, everything pertaining to avarice, turbulence, and prejudice is said to have been displayed at the very time of the dedication of that same oratory.
Wherefore, if it is so as we have learned beforehand from her representation, and you recognize that anything more unseemly has been committed in this, we exhort that, all prejudices being first removed, you take care that Musicus, abbot of the monastery of Agilis, hasten to devote himself with all diligence to those his monks whom he had begun to ordain there; so that, that venerable place being disposed by you, with the Lord's help, in a becoming and regular manner, neither may the frequent complaint of the aforesaid religious woman about her good desires not being fulfilled shake us, nor may it be to the detriment of your soul, if — which we do not believe — so pious a purpose should grow torpid through some delay by your negligence.
