Gregory to Fantinus the defender. We believe that your Experience has already learned that our most beloved son Servusdei the deacon has left the holy Roman Church, which by God's authority we serve, as his heir.
And because he appointed by the title of a legacy that four head of mares be given to Luminosa, a handmaid of God, his kinswoman, and since we—at the request of our most beloved son Florentinus the deacon—foresaw that ten head of mares together with their stallion should be bestowed upon the hospice of the Anicii, over which he is known to preside, we therefore command you by this precept that to the bearer of these presents, who has been sent thither for this purpose from the establishment, you hand over, without any excuse or delay, both the four head which were bequeathed and the ten head of mares which we have granted to the hospice, from the mares of the aforesaid deacon, together with the stallion.
