Letter 13002: I am formally uniting the monastery of Crater with your monastery in Naples.

I am formally uniting the monastery of Crater with your monastery in Naples. The two communities are to function henceforth as one, under your governance and the Rule you have established. This union is intended to strengthen both communities and to bring greater stability to the smaller one. Exercise your authority over the combined community with equity and pastoral wisdom, and ensure that the monks of the Crater monastery are integrated into your community with the dignity they deserve.

AD ADEODATUM ABBATEM. Ilius monasterio Craterense unil. Gregorius Adeodato abbati Neapolitano. Quantum bene dispositaz fratruta congregationi animus noster ex interni desiderii intentione congau- scentibus necessario duximus prexbere consensum. Presentis itaque precepti nostri auctoritate idem Craterense monasterium celle vestrz constituimys uniendum. Hoc precipue commonentes, ut locus ipse ita cum divino solatio per vos deinceps debeat ordinari, quatenus, dum ab hoste licuerit, deputati permanere, perturbationis vero tempore intra urbem ' in cellam quippe propriam rovocari. Res vero omnes eidem monasterio JY16 competentes, diligenii volumus cura perquiri atque recolligi, easque, nt tibi visum ſuerit, apte disponi. Nihilque quod eidem monasterio cumpetit a quoquam detineri permiltas, sed omnia in jus cellz, quippe jam tuz, reſormare det, * tantum ex deslitutis et pene in desolatione RB non negligas, ut, cunctis salubri ordinatione disposi- positis ſratribus monasterii sancti Marcellini, ut pa- Storalis 8vllicitudinis eis Citius cura Subveniat, vebe- menti m@rore concutitur. Monachi siquidem monasterii, quod Crateras dici- tur, Neapolitanz urbi e vicino ſundati, porrecta nos pelitione informasse noscuntur locum ipsum ita pene ſunditus servorum Dei obsequiis destitutum, ut vix Jllic remanserint qui ipsius solummodo valeant esse custodes. Ob quam rem lacrymabiluter supplicantes Ipsum unire monasterium deberemus, quatenus per zollicitudinem tuam, et deinceps succedentibus aliis, Jocus ipse auctore Deo regulari valeat ordinatione disponi. Sed dum huic rei fraler et coepiscopus no- tis, que Deo placita nostra sunt auciorilate sufſulia perpetuis maneant inconvulsa temporibus.
