Quote from Letter to Romanus, defender of Sicily. November 598
And so, we order your Experience with this authority not to fail to comfort and support her [the abbess Thecla], as far as reason allows. But you should be keen also to encourage the magnificent gentleman mentioned above [Alexander], so that he might cease from all contention, and be examining the matter might come to a peaceful resolution of this case.
