Letter 2,47 - to all the troops in Naples. September 591-August 592
"We have learnt just now that your Devotion actus thus, complying with our letter in which we appointed that magnificent man, the tribune Constantius, to be in charge of the city's garrison, thus demonstrating the obedience which befits military devotion.
For that reason we have taken care to advise you with the present letter that you ought to show total obedience to the aforesaid magnificent man and tribune, as you have done so far, for the interest of our most serene Lordship and for keeping the city safe."
