Letter 2,10 - to the clergy, senate and people living in Nepi. Januari 592.
"We advise your Beloved with the present letter that you should show obedience to him [Leontius] in every way, nor should anyone among you think that he may be scorned, since he handles things for your advantage.
For anyone who opposes his harmonious arrangements is considered to be resisting our command. Yet whoever listens to him in these matters mentioned above, will be listening to us. But if anyone thinks that he may be scorned after this warming of ours, which we do not think likely, he should know that it would most certainly place him in danger."
