Letter 2031: I have heard reports of difficulties between some of you and the tribune Constantius, who commands you.

To all the soldiers of Naples. On the obedience to be shown to the tribune Constantius. Gregory to all the soldiers of Naples. The highest praise of military service, among its other good merits, is this: to render obedience to the interests of the holy commonwealth, and to comply with whatever has been usefully commanded for it; just as we have now learned that your devotion has done, which obeyed our letters, by which we appointed the distinguished man Constantius, the tribune, to take charge of the guarding of the city, and which showed a fitting obedience of military devotion. Therefore we have taken care that you be admonished by the present letter, that to the aforesaid distinguished man, the tribune, as indeed you have done, you ought to render every obedience for the advantage of our most serene lords and for the preservation of the city, so that whatever is recognized to have been well done by you up to now, you may increase through the vigilance and watchfulness of the present time.
