Letter 1,71 - to Sub-deacon Peter in Sicily. August 591
"The more other churches show reverence to the apostolic see, the more it ought to be concerned over their protection. And they say that houses and properties which legally belong to the rights of the church of Taormina have been occupied by agents of our Church, against all reason.
Therefore, with the letter bearing this instruction, we charge your Experience to find out the truth, and if it is so, to restore to the former rights of the aforesaid church all that you have found occupied."
