Another Greeting to Gregory

A letter running from you visits me with dignity, holy bishop, man of piety — I seize it eagerly, running through it with eyes and soul, rejoicing that you are well — which its greeting reported. Let a longer page, sent under your name, Pope Gregory, refresh me here with the help of its greeting.

Latin / Greek Original

XVII
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.
