Letter 2,13 - to John, bishop of Velletri. February 592.
"The nature of this time warns us to transfer the sees of bishops, established in certain cities long ago, to other places in the same diocese, which we think more secure, where the inhabitants might now be sent and the barbarian danger might be more easily avoided."
