Quote from Letter 9.135 to Paulinus, bishop of Taurum, Proculus, bishop of Nicotera, Palumbus, bishop of Cosenza, Venerius, bishop of Vibona and Marcian, bishop of Lorci. April 599
And for that reason, by the holy evangelists, your Fraternity should reside with our sub-deacon, Sabinus, and as is suitable for the office of priest, carefully examine without favoring any person at all and with all fairness and concern, both the complaint that the clergy have against their bishop, as I told you, or any possible complaint he might have against them.
