Greek text · Dindorf 4:477–478

ἵνα μέντοι καὶ περὶ πάντων αὐτῶν τούτων πληρεστάτην δυνηθῆτε ἔχειν γνῶσιν, τὰ ἀντίτυπα τῶν ἐγγράφων τῶν πρός με παρὰ Ἀνυλίνου ἀποσταλέντων, γράμμασιν ἐμοῖς ὑποτάξας, πρὸς τοὺς προειρημένους κολλήγας ὑμῶν ἐξέπεμψα, οἶς ἐντυχοῦσα ἡ ὑμετέρα στερρότης δοκιμάσει, ὅντινα χρὴ τρόπον τὴν προειρημένην δίκην ἐπιμελέστατα διευκρινῆσαι, καὶ κατὰ τὸ δίκαιον τερματίσαι, ὁπότε μηδὲ τὴν ὑμετέραν ἐπιμέλειαν λανθάνει, τοσαύτην με αἰδῶ τῇ ἐνθέσμῳ καθολικῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἀπονέμειν, ὡς μηδὲν καθόλου σχίσμα ἢ διχοστασίαν ἔν τινι τόπῳ βούλεσθαί με ὑμᾶς καταλιπεῖν. ἡ θειότης ὑμᾶς τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ διαφυλάξοι πολλοῖς ἔτεσι, τιμιώτατε.

English · Claude translation

And so that you may have the fullest knowledge about all these things, I have appended to my letter copies of the documents sent to me by Anulinus and sent them to your aforesaid colleagues. When your firmness has read them, you will judge in what way this case should be most carefully examined and brought to a just end; since it does not escape your care that I pay such respect to the lawful catholic church that I do not wish you to leave any schism or division whatever in any place. May the divinity of the great God preserve you for many years, most honored.”
