Letter 5017: Item ad eundem salutatoria
17
Likewise to the same, a letter of greeting
A running letter from you graciously visits me, holy bishop, a man who is a father in piety. Seizing it eagerly with my eyes and my mind, I read it over again, rejoicing that you are safe, as its heading reported. Coming this far under your name, Pope Gregory, may the page sent to me restore me with the aid of well-being.

Item ad eundem salutatoria
Visitat a vobis dignanter epistula currens
me, sacer antistes, vir pietate pater.
hanc avidus capiens oculis animoque recurro.
sospite te gaudens, quod referebat apex.
longius huc vestro sub nomine, papa Gregori,
pagina me recreet missa salutis ope.
