An Appointment

Letter 2,12 - to bischop Importunus. January 592.

"Because we know that the church of Saint Mary, which is called Piso's, lying in your parish, is without a priest, we have certainly appointed the bearer of this letter, Dominic, to be in charge as priest in that same church.
For that reason your Fraternity should see to it that the profits of that church are provided to him without delay, and see that the revenues of the tenth indiction already received are restored to the man mentioned above, without delay, so that with God's help he can carefully obtain the benefits of the same church, from which his profits derive."
