Although your own good judgment should be enough to provide assistance to those assigned to public duty, our reminder adds to the assurance. We have sent Simeonius, a distinguished man whose loyalty and devotion have long been known to us, to administer the siliquaticum tax and the iron mines in the province of Dalmatia by our appointment. Do not deny him the support he requests, so that your excellency may become all the more commendable to us when it hastens to serve the public interest.

XXVI. OSUIN V. I. COMITI THEODERICUS REX.
[1] Quamvis prudentiae tuae sit utilitati publicae deputatis ferre praesidium. tamen ammonitio nostra se cumulat, ut securius fiat. ubi se reverentia nostrae iussionis accommodat. Simeonium itaque virum clarissimum, cuius fides olim nobis est cognita vel devotio comprobata, ad ordinationem siliquatici nec non ferrariarum ad provinciam Dalmatiam nostra ordinatione direximus. cui expetita solacia non negetis, ut sublimitas tua nobis commendatior fiat, cum actibus se publicis praebere festinat.
