Gregory to Anatolius, deacon of Constantinople. The bearers of the present letter, who from the schism of the Istrians have, by God's mercy, returned to the unity of the Church, complain much of the depravity of the bishops who are in those parts. And because, hastening for that reason to Constantinople, they ask that your aid ought to be present to them, we exhort your Charity by these addresses, that you ought to give them solace and to concur with them, with reason preserved; so that, by your help, they may both be less wearied there and more easily be able to obtain what is just.
