Investigation

Quote from Letter 8.26 to John, bischop of Syracuse. June 598

It came to our attention that certain clerics from the churches of Italy were selling off sacred vessels in Sicily. We gave directions, therefore, that our notary, Pantaleo, should look for the same vessels, with a carefull investigation. After he was involved in allegiance to your Holiness, we have learnt that he neglegted the same case. Ans do your Fraternity ought to provide for it with suitable concern, and should let him relax for whatever time he thinks appropriate, to complete those things themselves.
