Letter 1,49 - to all the monks settled on the island of Montecristo. June 591.
"It has come to our attention that you observe none of the precepts of the monastic rule. For which reason the have been compelled to send to you Abbot Orosius, bearer of the present command, to inquire carefully into all your activities, and to settle whatever seems just to him, and to report back to us whatever was arranged."
