Epistle
XLIX.
To Palladius, Bishop.
Gregory to Palladius, Bishop of Santones in Gaul
(Saintes).
Leuparic your presbyter, the bearer of these
presents, when he came to us informed us that your Fraternity has built
a church in honour of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and also of
the martyrs Laurentius and Pancratius, and placed there thirteen
altars, of which we learn that four have remained not yet dedicated
because of your desiring to deposit there relics of the above-named
saints. And, seeing that we have reverently supplied you with
relics of the Saints Peter and Paul, and also of the martyrs Laurentius
and Pancratius, we exhort you to receive them with reverence, and
deposit them with the help of the , providing before all things that supplies for the maintenance of those who serve there be not wanting.
