Letter 9056: The bearer of this letter is Gregorius, formerly prefect, now seeking the service of God.
Confident that your Glory [a courtesy title of honor] shows itself forthcoming in the affairs of friends, we ask all the more earnestly to commend to you the causes of those whom we so dearly love, namely that our glorious son Gregory, who [...] in his youth, and likewise in whatever may prove necessary before our glorious son Leontius, may obtain the support of your Glory and may not find [...], and that, as far as it is possible, your Glory's solicitude may keep watch with zeal lest he be made subject to any injustice [...], and that he may strive to have this turned aside by your counsel, so that, while he has [...], both through him and through ourselves we may be able to know more fully [...] which we may take up, not for outward show, but in that which is very much to be praised [...] freely.
