AD UNIVERSOS IUDICES PROVINCIARUM ATHALARICUS REX.
[1] Cum vos provinciis nostris iuvante deo annua reparatione praestemus nec desint iudicia per universos fines Italiae distributa, intellegimus de inopia iustitiae copiam venire causarum. culpa siquidem vestrae probatur esse neglegentiae, quotiens a nobis coguntur homines legum beneficia postulare. nam quis eligeret tam longe petere, quod in suis videret sedibus advenisse? [2] Sed ut vobis versutas excusationes et duras necessitates provincialibus tolleremus, de aliquibus casibus hactenus pessimo torpore neglectis edictalis programmatis definitione censuimus, ut et vobis cresceret confidentia recte iudicandi et paulatim audacia maligna possit inminui. quod more sollemni per conventus publicos triginta dierum facite proponi editione, ut iure condemnatus habeatur qui post haec remedia manere praesumpserit desperatus.
