Letter 10059: **From:** Gregory I, Bishop of Rome

Gregory to John and Fortunatus, bishops, and Anthemius, subdeacon. What we ought willingly to bestow upon our sons, we should not deny them when they ask. And therefore, since our glorious son Gregorius, the former prefect, asks that the properties he has there, and his men, be commended to your fraternity, we direct you to extend to him your protection and assistance.
