Two extracts from a letter dealing with ecclesiastical ill-discipline in Sicily:
Lator praesentium Gregorius, abbas atque presbyter monasterii sancti Theodori, nulla quidem ratio permittebat ut, post lapsum cellae illius paene generalem, ultra ei praeesse debuisset.
[...]
Praeterea de monasterio ancillarum dei, quod est sancti Martini, Marciam sanctimonialem feminam in monasterio alio iniuste audio fuisse migratam.
‘No reason at all allowed the bearer of this letter, Gregory, once abbot and priest of the monastery of Saint Theodore, to have the right to be in charge of that place any longer following the almost total lapse by that community.
[...]
Furthermore, I hear that Marcia, a pious woman, has moved unlawfully from the monastery dedicated to Saint Martin into another monastery.’
Text: Norberg 1982, vol. 1, 269. Translation: Martyn 2004, vol. 2, 325.
