Extract from the letter:
Qua de re praecipimus eosdem te monachos, omni cura et sollicitudine perquisitos, ad unum reducere, et cum memorato episcopo rectore que suo in monasterio sancti Theodori in Messanensi ciuitate posito collocare, ut et hi qui nunc ibi sunt, quos egere rectore comperimus, et eos quos de congregatione eius inuentos reduxeris, in unum possint, eo duce, omnipotenti domino deseruire.
'On this matter, we order you to search out those same monks with all care and concern, to bring them together as one, and locate them with the aforesaid bishop and their ruler in the monastery of saint Theodore, set in the city of Messina. Thus those who are there now, whom we found to lack a bishop, and those from his community, whom you will find and bring back, can with his leadership serve the almighty Lord in unity.'
