Gregory to Peter, Bishop of Aleria in Corsica.
On the island of Corsica, at the place called Nigeunum, on the property known as Cellae Cupiae belonging to the holy Roman Church over which I serve by God's providence, I have ordered the construction of a church with a baptistery in honor of the blessed Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and of Laurentius the martyr. I therefore urge your Brotherhood to proceed at once to the site, and with all the proper solemnities of dedication, to consecrate the church and baptistery. Deposit the holy relics you have received there with due reverence.
