Letter 8014: Lord bishop, good shepherd and author of honor,

XIV A Greeting to the Same Man [Gregory of Tours] Nourishing, blessed father, light for all, Gregory, by right the head of the priesthood at the summit's height, I render thanks to God, learning of your prosperity, now made glad in carrying on by your writings. Commending myself also with humble prayer, I greet you with my voice, you whom my heart honors continually by its devotion.

XIV Ad eundem salutatoria Alme, beate pater, lumen generale, Gregori, iure sacerdotum culminis arce caput, reddo deo grates de vobis prospera noscens, vestris nunc scriptis laetificatus agens. me quoque commendans humili prece voce saluto, iugiter officio quem mea corda colunt.
