Letter 8014: Lord bishop, good shepherd and author of honor,
Greeting to Gregory
Kindly, blessed father, universal light, Gregory —
rightly head at the summit and pinnacle of bishops:
I give thanks to God, knowing good things of you,
and I am made joyful now, acting on your writings.
Commending myself too with a humble prayer, I greet you with my voice —
you whom my heart always cultivates in its duty.

Ad eundem salutatoria
Alme, beate pater, lumen generale, Gregori,
iure sacerdotum culminis arce caput,
reddo deo grates de vobis prospera noscens,
vestris nunc scriptis laetificatus agens.
me quoque commendans humili prece voce saluto,
iugiter officio quem mea corda colunt.
