Quote from Letter 9.2 to Vitalis, defender of Cagliari. September-October 598
Furthermore, we have returned the price of wheat, which had been sent to us under the guise of a present, tthriugh the defender, Redemptus, who bears this letter.
Your Experience must see that neither you, nor even the person who brought it, should presume to share in rewarding yourself from the same sum of money, but restore it totally and undiminished to the individuals, or to all of them simultaneously, and send me the receipts for the same money. For if I find out that things have been done contrary to my advice, I shall impose a punishment for the same reason, and not a moderate one.
