Letter 12011: I am sending you, under the cover of this letter, copies of the correspondence I have previously sent concerning the...

What the bearer of this letter, our most beloved Nemesion, who says he is bishop of the city of Doclea, has complained of concerning the crime of Paul, formerly, as he asserts, bishop of Doclea, would have had to be indicated to your fraternity in greater detail, were it not that he testifies that you know everything, since you both sympathized with him and wished to help, but he says were unable to. And since the case of so great a crime must not be neglected or passed over unpunished, lest by imitation of it wickedness grow, your fraternity must investigate the matter thoroughly.
