Letter 9134: Brothers, I am writing to all of you together because the matter I must address requires the coordinated response of...
To Palumbus, bishop of Consentia; Venerius, bishop of Vibo; and Marcianus, bishop of Locri.
The clergy of the church of Regium have brought many complaints against our most reverend brother Bonifatius their bishop, by a petition given to us, asking that they should have permission to come to us so that their cases might be carefully examined here. But since we did not think it advisable to summon the aforesaid brother here at this time, it seemed good to us to appoint that the case be heard there. And therefore, with the most holy Gospels before you, you shall examine the matter.
