Greek text · Dindorf 4:476–477
ὁπότε τοίνυν συνορᾷ ἡ καθοσίωσις ἡ σὴ, ταύτης ἡμῶν τῆς κελεύσεως σαφέστατον εἶναι τὸ πρόσταγμα, σπούδασον, εἴτε κῆποι, εἴτε οἰκίαι, εἶθʼ ὁτιουνδήποτε τῷ δικαίῳ τῶν αὐτῶν ἐκκλησιῶν διέφερον, σύμπαντα αὐταῖς ἀποκατασταθῆναι ὡς τάχιστα, ὅπως τούτῳ ἡμῶν τῷ προστάγματι ἐπιμελεστάτην σε πειθάρχησιν παρεσχηκέναι καταμάθοιμεν. ἔρρωσο, Ἀνυλῖνε, τιμιώτατε καὶ ποθεινότατε ἡμῖν.”
English · Claude translation
Since, then, your devotion perceives that the order of this our command is most clear, hasten to restore to them as quickly as possible everything that belonged by right to these churches, whether gardens or houses or anything else whatever, so that we may learn that you have rendered most careful obedience to this our order. Farewell, Anulinus, our most honored and most beloved.”
