VIII.
ANASTASIO CONSULARI THEODERICUS REX.

[1] Convenit sublimitatem tuam nostris iussionibus oboedientiae tribuere sedulam firmitatem, quatenus ad effectum trahatur quod salubri ordinatione disponitur. moderate siquidem novit iniuncta sibi complere prudentia et sine ingratitudinis naevo delegata explicabili procurare consilio. [2] Atque ideo ad Faventinam civitatem civilem exsecutionem te praecipimus destinare, ut sine cuiusquam concussione vel damno quadrati ad Ravennatem urbem ex nostra iussione devehantur, quatenus et nostro desiderio gratulemur impleto et querulis vociferandi amputetur occasio.
