Our son, the glorious man and ex-consul, Leontius, has complained seriously about the action of our brother and fellow-bishop, Leo. His complaint has thoroughly disturbed us, for a bishop ought not to have acted so hastily and so lightly. We have trusted a careful inquiry into this case to our defender, Romanus, when he gets there.
