Quote from Letter 9.118 to Marinianus, bishop of Ravenna. February-April 599
John, our most glorious son and prefect of this city, sent you the bearer of this letter (...) for the express purpose of escorting his glorious wife here, with God's protection. We are also now longing her to arrive here, so that we can have our most glorious aforesaid son not torn apart, but whole again. Let your Fraternity, therefore, take care that nothing stops her from coming (...).
