Quote from Letter 4,28 to Candidus, defender. June 594.
It is fitting that pontifical assistance should be available for those who suffer need. With regard to this matter, we instruct your Experience, with the present authority, that without any delay, you do not cease to provide two thirds of a gold coin each year for Albinus, deprived of sight, the son of Martin, a one-time farmer.
Cited from: The Letters of Gregory the Great, trans. John R.C. Martyn (Toronto: PIMS, 2004), I: 309
